HOW TO 

Tags: Pest, Control, Tips, Help, House, Yard, Garden, Home, Fruit, Flies, Insects, Bugs

This is a simple and effective pest control tip for ridding your kitchen of pesky little fruit flies.

	Put a chunk of banana in the bottom of a glass jar.
	Create a paper funnel by rolling a standard piece of paper and taping it into the shape of a funnel with a very small hole at the bottom, and the top considerably wider than the mouth of the jar.
	Set the funnel in the mouth of the jar, pointy side down.
	Set this contraption wherever you have seen fruit flies.
	They are attracted to the banana smell. The flies will go down the funnel, and can't get out again.
	Check the jar frequently, and whenever you see captured flies, release them out of doors, where they will die shortly.
	Don't pull the funnel out while still indoors or they will get right back into your kitchen.
	Change the banana piece frequently, as they will lay their eggs on it.
