How to get rid of fruit flies in restaurant with a natural nontoxic bug trap? 1st let’s talk about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a very big issue with these solutions: they don’t work very well. Additionally your bar will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work most of the times: The easiest and most convenient way to get rid of fruit flies and gnat is by purchasing a fruit fly trap, such as this disposable fruit fly trap. You just need to open the trap lid and place the trap next to the fly-infested area. You should see plenty of dead flies the next day. Create your own fruit fly trap with vinegar, an ingredient that most households should already have in their kitchen. You’ll need a container, apple cider vinegar, sugar, dish soap, and water. First, mix two tablespoons of vinegar, one tablespoon of sugar, a few drops of dish soap, and half a cup of warm water into a container and mix until the sugar starts to dissolve. Next, place the vinegar solution-filled container next to the areas where the fruit flies and gnats are frequently seen, such as the kitchen sink. The scent of vinegar and sugar will attract the flies into the container. When the fruit flies make contact with the vinegar solution, they won’t be able to escape due to the dish soap. Make sure to place several of these traps. One gnat trap won’t be enough.
But the issue is that, most of the times, this method doesn’t work, fruit flies will appear again and you will also have a problem with the very bad odor from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and pungent liquid – it’s just not fun having that open in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Wash the fruit you bring in: This is going to be tough to hear, but if fruit flies keep getting in somehow, it’s possible they’re using you to get in. Don’t feel guilty, you were an unwitting pawn in their master scheme. One way to prevent your dastardly foe from manipulating you for their own purposes yet again is to wash all the fruit you bring into the office as soon as you get in. Even if you bought your apple that morning, a fruit fly could’ve found it and snuck aboard at any point on your commute, even if it never left your bag. It’s not consciously trying to get into your office, but you bring it there and once it gets a look around, it settles in and lays eggs. So… wash your fruit when you bring it in! Easy peasy.
We are a husband and wife duo operating a small business in a small town just 30 minutes south of Boston in Pembroke, Massachusetts. We love hiking – in the above photo, we were at the Montezuma Castle. I love smoothies and Acai bowls, so there’s always a few organic bananas in my fruit bowl. No matter how clean I keep the house, a few fruit flies still find their way in my home buzzing around the bananas and other fruits. They are an annoyance! I tried using apple cidar vinegar and dish soap – and they work great, but the ACV has a very strong smell, and they just don’t look very nice in home…..And the kids have “accidentally” spilled them once or twice. Definitely not fun. Read extra details on Get rid of drain flies.
