How to get rid of fruit flies in your kitchen

Today I have another tip for you, one that have changed my life (ha, ha!). Recently my kitchen has been full of fruit flies - this is natural in the summer, I have got plenty of fresh fruit in my baskets, also they love the smell of sour starter that I bring out of the fridge at least 2-3 times a week.

This is easy, homemade method, I have found it in users' comments below some article about getting rid of fruit flies on one of American websites. I tried it and it turned out to be a huge success.

You need:

- a glass
- cider or white wine vinegar
- about tsp of washing liquid  

Place some vinegar in a glass (1-2 cm should be enough), add washing liquid and leave near the place in your kitchen where you get the most of the annoying insects. After about 12-24 hours you will see plenty of dead flies on the bottom of the glass. Victory! I am not going to show you photograph of dead flies in the vinegar - it is not appetising, even this is very satisfying to get rid of these flies. May the Force be with you!
