Do these little suckers bug you? Yeah, well they bug me too.
The other night, I discovered a bittersweet way to get rid of fruit flies, quite by accident. You see, I was sitting on my couch, enjoying the quiet of two sleeping children accompanied by a wonderful glass of red wine. And whilst I was sipping, I noticed — not once, not twice, but THREE times — that a fruit fly had drowned in my red wine. Not that I can blame them, I mean, who doesn’t love a good Cabernet? And of course, being the waste-not, want-not person that I am, I simply scooped them out with a spoon and continued enjoying my wine.
So, if fruit flies are flying rampant in your house this time of year, and if you have a little wine to spare, consider setting out a sip of wine in a shallow bowl. After all, drowning in wine might be one of the more humane ways to kill fruit flies, don’t you think?
And if sharing wine isn’t your thing, I hear that apple cider vinegar works well too.

My mom taught me that if you rinse off bananas as soon as you bring them home you won’t get fruit flies. Apparently they lay their eggs on banana peels..yuck, but fortunately they rinse right off.
