If like me your a messy brewer you probably end up with wort all over the kitchen by the end of brew day. Despite meticulously cleaning it all up so you don't get a tongue lashing by SWMBO when she gets home, there can still be miniscule amounts left that attract fruit flies, in particular at this time of year - I always blame them on the fruit bowl, "nothing to do with brewing love,honest" :whistle:
This is where a fruit fly trap can come into it's own to maintain domestic harmony.
You'll need:
a jar
some white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
washing up liquid
Fill the jar with about an inch or so of vinegar. Then put a drop or so(quite literally about a drop) of washing up liquid in with the vinegar. This is to break the surface tension of the vinegar so the little fiends dont use the vinegar as a skating rink. That's it
Then watch the little buggers go to their DOOM!!!! Mwaaaaaahhhhh!!! :evil:
