[quote:Anonymous Coward 20675367:MV8yMDQ4MzgwXzM0NDIwOTUzX0MzMzREQUNB] I take a bowl and pour in some wine(it attracts them) and add a few pieces of fruit (apples, peaches, etc.) I then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the plastic. The flies are able to enter through the wholes but they can not leave. Using this method it takes a few days to clear out the fruit flies and you will have to replace the wine, fruit and plastic wrap (depending upon how many flies you have) but it's simple trap and it works [/quote]

I get a 1 gallon zip lock bag and throw a rotting piece of banana or the peel into the bottom corner of it. I seal 2/3rds of the bag and leave the other 1/3 of the bag open so the fruti flies will fly into it. When enough get in the bag, I just cover up the opening and trap them inside and then smash then all! It is a great way to releave stress and is much faster than the other methods like using vinegar or fly traps. If someone has a better idea, I would love to hear it. I killed about 100 fruit flies in the last hour. What a pain in the butt.
