    A little bit of beer or wine works great for this kind of trap. Fruit flies are attracted to the smell of fermentation. I know this for sure cuz i asked one today.

    I don't think it's fair to test the traps side by side and compare their catches. It shows the flies prefer the vinegar over the light, but that doesn't mean the light trap is less effective. Would the light trap had caught more flies if the vinegar trap wasn't pulling them away? What if the light has a greater range and was responsible for attracting the most flies, but the flies were drawn to the vinegar in the last moment, only after being attracted by the light? I'd like to see how the traps perform separately.
    That said, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It's invaluable. I have just declared war on the fruit flies in my house, and CZcamsrs like you have been a great help.

    I have to say, I've tried many different types to prevent fruit flies.
    The best above all have been the Apple Cider Vinegar and a couple drops of dish soap liquid.
    No more annoying fruit flies floating up to my face, and have you ever noticed when you try to clap your hands to destroy them?
    They mostly survive. It's like they know and get the hell away before your hands meet 😮

    All the videos about fruit flies show Apple Cider Vinegar and dish soap...tried this a hundred times...it doesn't work for me. I do not know why. I catch more on those sticky traps but not with ACV and Dish soap.

      Works better for me when I use regular vinegar over the acv. Some people also put a small amount of fruit juice but I've never tried that

    Perfect timing on this video. We’re going through fruit fly season up here in MN also, and I was considering one of the plug in traps to replace the apple cider vinegar traps. Now I think I’ll just stick with the old stand by!

    I use the apple cider vinegar method but have never needed the dish soap. It's just not necessary.

    fruit flies never go for the apple cider vinegar for me, they DO go for wine or fruit pulp

    This is so annoying that i tried my best making and waiting for the flies to get trapped by those vinegar simple traps. I made it in a bottle, in a cup, in a bowl. Tried adding fruits, vinegar, etc etc. Its so funny my home is full of flies and they dance around those traps but never go inside. ! Why

    I have the Zevo and it barely has any flies on it but I have a ton flying around. For us, it isn't working at all. I will try the beer one.

    I wonder if there's any type of flies that ended up on the sticky pads that weren't attracted to the apple cider? I'm wondering about just using existing sticky traps and leaving some sort of led or desk lamp next to them.

    Pineapple juice +cider vinegar and dishwashing liquid in open container is far more effective.

    USE A VACUUM CLEANER ! Works like magic. You'll get hundreds in the same time that a few gnats are contemplating these traps.

    I used an apple cider vinegar trap before and it didn't do squat. The fruit flies are NOT attracted to apple cider vinegar. You're better off just putting a fragment of fruit in than using apple cider vinegar.
