Homemade Fruit Fly Trap

I hate fruit flies. They are such pests! They have to be one of the most annoying insects because they multiply and can be hard to eradicate. When a bout of these pesky bugs pop up, I immediately make a fruit fly trap, and within a few hours, they are all gone. I’m sharing my go-to trap in case you also need quick, easy, and natural pest control.

Ingredients

If you have a funnel with a wider tip, that may work as well.  tape – or a stapler to secure the cone shape of the paper
