[@gladysvanegas4749]

I tried it this morning n it works😊 thank you..i had bananas n they were over riped so I had fruit flies every where..no spray worked 🙄

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

So glad I made 🎉this video for you🎉🎉🎉

[@Youtubewontletmecomment]

Ngl i thought you were drinking it in the end

[@AgitatedTaco]

I was so scared at the end

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

😭🤣

[@whydidyoureadmyusername2005]

Same 🤣

[@DemarcusQ]

Deadass was abouta write the same thing 🤣😭 Lowkey made me shiver 🥴

[@johnniethepom7545]

use a teaspoon of plum or raspberry jam in a large soft drink bottle . fill half way with warm water .

[@t-rex4211]

Dish soap in a glass of water and a banana skin. Push the skin below the water. Cleared 200 or so in 12 hours

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@w花b]

Sounds simpler. I always have bananas at home but not apple vinegar

[@woa.h]

thought she was gonna drink the apple cider mixture 😂 💀

[@whiterabbit409]

Just tried this and put one in my room not even five minutes ago and it's already caught one! ^~^ Thank you for this tip! Definitely keeping it in my room.

Yo!!! You sipping your coffee at the end was outta pocket 😂 def made me gag

[@kiingzay731]

Use a Mason Jar & plastic wrap the opening.. poke holes in it and they will rush to make it in that club before it closes 😂

[@blkqtpy]

No need for the lid at all do not cover it at all and if you really want potent mixture, get a small bowl or mason jar, apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and a few drops of your dish soap, preferably dawn and just sit him all around your house and you won’t have to worry

[@Freddybangz]

LMFAO!!!!! this comment top tier 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@angelaharris1112]

I havent even watched this yet and I know how well this works for gnats and fruitflies

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

It does wonders ✨️

[@sandeshvantveen]

Thanks, I've been unable to get rid of mine through cleaning, so hopefully this will work!

[@pwrighter]

Yeah, it works. Love your Southern drawl and you're pretty too.

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Thank you

[@videogameplayer0552]

Also works with alcohol. When I was a kid, there’d sometimes be a lot of fruit flies in my apartment, and my mom found that if you take some wine, I think cooking wine, it attracts a ton of fruit flies.

[@AuralPods-gm4pg]

Simple but promising, I might do it ♡

[@kiera2sweet]

So me and my boyfriend made our own traps. It is now about 11 hours passed and he made his first. Mine caught 15 and his caught zero. I didn’t stir mine and he stirred his. I’m not sure why his didn’t catch any but maybe it was the bowl size. But I appreciate this video because I was getting irritated!!! Did not know they would shoot up your nose!!!

[@HelloSnake]

I just made one. 15 minutes later there was a fly sitting on the inner side of the bowl. So I blew it into the cider. It didn't struggle or anything. Just remained still. I hope the rest make it into the cider on their own. I mixed the soap in very gently.
Next time I checked, another was sitting on the top edge of the bowl. I blew that one in too.

[@user-jp2vm9wy1j]

lmfao it ain't work huh😂😂😂

[@lovetap4238]

OMG, the whole trying to drink coffee in peace is spot on! So annoying! Thanks for the hack that's not requiring 5 different items 😂

[@elisasancho600]

Omg the coffee thing is so real. When they get bad I have to cover my coffee or I'll find 1 just floating all dead 🙄

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Facts 💯

[@davidramey7186]

Take old pill bottle. Put a few holes in top to mimick those fruit fly apple traps.use the same apple cider vinegar and soap recipe. Even less will escape

I had a rotten potato in my pantry, fruit flies everywhere 😭😭 I'm putting this up, hope it works 😭😭

[@daybreaklongman1236]

I did this straight dui diy, got a fountain soda from ayerco they lemme just take the cup and lid heated a fork dabbed it thru the top to make the holes and used the same basic mixture that way when I'm done I'm not cleaning out dead bugs and vinegar out of anything just dump it into my compost bin throw away the cup

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Genius! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@Mark-Thompson-uj3ty]

So smart. Str8 dui son

[@WillieCarson-q4f]

I thought you were drinking vinegar and dish soap 😂

[@twistedpersonality]

Been trying this, but for some reason the flies won't touch it. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@JaysonB30]

I tried to put plastic wrap on the top then I put holes in it hoping the gnats would go in the holes but they are just going on the plastic wrap instead of going in the holes. Is it better to not put plastic wrap?

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

No plastic wrap

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

I'm glad I could help you 😌

[@LL_SHAWN_P]

Thanks babe, yes, these are annoying when I’m trying to have my drink in peace. I think I might use my drink instead of apple cider vinegar because they are always floating around my drink.

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Your welcome 🤣🤣🤣

[@be4018]

Yes this definitely works but I found out that the big bottle of apple cider vinegar the cheap one they didn't bother. Heinz and the other name brand is the only kind they were attracted to

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

I want that mug! 😍💜

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Thanks, I created this mug a while ago, but it's still available in my square store square.link/u/8P8uIlyB enjoy

[@michaelgarland1337]

I use Heinz Cider vinegar myself.
I’m a big fan !!!

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

I honestly use whatever brand I can get my hands on, even a dollar tree brand works.

[@user-ch6ti5cc2e]

It's just fermented crushed apples and yeast, all brands will be different depending on orchard of apples used, season, fermentation age. Just get the cheapest you can, ideally "organic" "raw" "with the mother".

[@m3g4f4il1]

I do this except with sugar and apple cider vinegar. Wonder if the dish soap would enhance 🤔

[@catzdollz9810]

You MUST add dish detergent!

[@rudestbeast4907]

@@catzdollz9810 the detergent poisons them, water tension allows them to stand on water without sinking before flying away, the soap breaks that tension so they both drown or get poisoned. with only apple cider vinegar you are just feeding them.

[@EazzyBeezie]

Gonna try this thanks

[@Bfff335]

Will Heinz all natural distilled white vinegar work?

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Yes

[@AdamJohnson247]

I thought you should ad hunny as well it creates a little bit more stickiness to keep them in their I could be wrong though

[@kcurran9913]

I tried this today and after a few hours there are now 12 dead fruit flies in the trap!

[@valiantthor2215]

Your suppose to cover it with wrap and poke holes to make it harder for them to escape

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

If that works for you that is great but I only do that version for normal flies

[@RamtifyVR]

What if you don’t have apple cider vinegar does regular white vinegar work too

I have never tried it with normal vinegar. I would say apple cider may be better.

[@laylonidiamondz8447]

I just have regular vinegar,will it still work?👀

[@thebalancedmotherhood]

Someone in common to did say they use vinegar. And it worked but I cannot confirm it

[@Fiddoxx]

Regular vinegar is fine just make sure the dish soap smells fruity or like citrus. I also add a little brown sugar and stir if you don't have fruity smelling dish soap.

I've been doing this for a good while and it works but problem is that you really need to find out where they coming from cause I feel like the more you kill them the more fruit flies come back flying your house or apartment ugh 😫

When they dip in for a drink the soap makes their legs slippery. They can't escape.
