Hey everyone, Dave Saunders here. I’ll be honest with you — for years I thought apple cider vinegar was the only real way to make a good fruit fly trap. I recommended it to everyone. Then one summer I had a client who couldn’t stand the smell of vinegar in her kitchen. She asked if there were other options. That question forced me to experiment, and I discovered several surprisingly effective fruit fly traps that don’t use apple cider vinegar at all.
