Thank you for using one of our Earth-friendly fruit fly traps. We use cider vinegar for bait.

1. Place your fruit fly trap where you tend to see the most flies.

2. The vinegar will lure the flies in but they won't be smart enough to get back out.

3. When the trap is full and your issue is solved, send the trap back to Room 15. We will freeze the traps to kill the flies and then reuse the jars.

Fun Facts directly from www.rescue.com:

1. Fruit flies don’t actually eat fruit. They eat is the fungus or rot that grows on or inside the fruit. That's also where they lay their eggs.

2. Fruit flies like slime. A damp, slimy environment like sink drains, garbage cans, disposals, empty bottles and cans, trash containers, mops and cleaning rags are all places where fruit flies can reproduce.

3. Fruit flies are fruitful in multiplying. A female fruit fly can lay anywhere from 500-2000 eggs in a lifetime. The eggs can hatch into larvae in as little as 12 hours. Each egg takes 10-14 days to mature into an adult. The entire fruit fly life span is 30-50 days.

4. Fruit flies have a powerful sense of smell. They use their antennae to follow fermenting fruit from far away. Once the produce on your counter starts to go just past the ripe stage, fruit flies can smell it from outside and find their way inside through the tiniest of crevices around a window or a door.
