Description

I want to talk about fruit flies and drain flies, because they are two different bugs and the famous Japanese trap only works on one of them. In this video I show you how to tell them apart in fifteen seconds, the way my grandmother taught me. I give you the exact recipe for the mentsuyu trap that catches fruit flies, and I explain why you need to clean your drain instead of trapping if you have drain flies. I also cover the hot water trick, the baking soda and citric acid method, and the simple habits that keep both bugs from ever settling in. You will come away knowing which fix actually works for your kitchen.
