DIY Fruit Fly Trap: Simple, Effective, and Eco-Friendly Solution
Popular Mechanics demonstrates a simple and effective DIY fruit fly trap, using only household items. The video shows how to repurpose a plastic bottle to create a funnel-like structure, which then uses a sweet substance (like fruit juice) to attract the flies. A small amount of dish soap is added to reduce the surface tension of the liquid, making it more difficult for the flies to escape once they've entered. The trap is easy to assemble and requires no special tools or materials. 'It's a great way to get rid of fruit flies without using harmful chemicals,' says the video's presenter. The video has gained popularity, with over 19,000 views in just two years, demonstrating the widespread interest in simple, effective pest control solutions.
