fruit flies be gone

What is it about peaches that makes those pesky fruit flies get so bold?  They multiply by the second and the kitchen air is full of them within a day.  I love having fresh fruits and garden vegetables out on the counter though, and I'm stubborn about keeping them there.

This concoction is magic.  Within a day of putting it on my counter, they are g-o-n-e!


Fill a small bowl with apple cider vinegar.  Add one or two drops of dish soap.  Don't stir it.  Just set it on the counter.  The cider attracts them and the soap weighs down their wings so they are trapped.  

Go get 'em!
