Description
🔗 Run A Whole House On What's In Your Pantry — My Complete Plain Household Method: https://plainhomekeeping.com/
Get rid of fruit flies overnight with an old Amish trap made from apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Sarah Lapp, an Amish homemaker from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, shows the exact recipe, why it works, and how to keep fruit flies from coming back.
In this video you will learn:
✔ Where fruit flies really come from (and why swatting never works)
✔ The 5-minute apple cider vinegar and dish soap trap
✔ Why the soap matters and how to avoid the foam mistake
✔ Paper cone and plastic wrap upgrades for heavy infestations
✔ A stronger late-summer bait using overripe fruit or leftover wine
✔ How to clean up the breeding spots: fruit, trash, drains, and recycling
✔ The honest good and bad of this method
🧰 WHAT YOU NEED
- Small jar or glass
- About 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 to 5 drops of dish soap
- A small piece of ripe fruit (optional)
- Paper or plastic wrap with a rubber band (optional)
📌 GOOD TO KNOW
This trap catches adult fruit flies. Eggs and larvae in fruit, drains, and trash will keep hatching for a few days, so cleaning the breeding spots is part of the fix. Replace the trap every few days.

What state are you watching from? And how many mornings did it take before your jar came up empty? I read every comment.
