Things You'll Need:
- An opened bottle of red wine (any brand)
-
Step 1
First you need an opened bottle of red wine (any kind or brand).
-
Step 2
Cork the bottle and reserve at least 2 inches of wine at the bottom of the bottle. We typically drink the bottle of red wine (but you don't necessarily have to do that to catch the fruit flies/gnats).
-
Step 3
Leave the opened bottle with two inches of wine at the bottom on a flat surface in the area where you typically are bothered by the fruit flies/gnats.
-
Step 4
The fruit flies/gnats are attracted to the wine and fly down into the bottle and are unable to escape causing them to drown in the red wine.
-
Step 5
You can measure your progress by taking a look into the bottle and seeing all of the fruit flies/gnats swimming at the bottom.
