A fun and easy way to get rid of those annoying gnats and fruit flys without any chemicals or dangerous materials to your home or family and should work every time.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a small shallow bowl
  • cling wrap, or plastic wrap
  • fruity aromatic flavor of wine
  • a slice of any kind of fruit.
  1. Step 1

    pour a good amount of wine (almost to top) into the shallow bowl.

  2. Step 2

    cover the shallow bowl with the plastic wrap. make sure to cover the whole thing and make it tight around the edges.

  3. Step 3

    poke small holes in the plastic wrap, just enough so the gnats could smell it and crawl into the holes and get trapped.

  4. Step 4

    Place the bowl of wine wherever the gnats are mostly in the house. leave it there until the gnats go into the bowl and drown. If wine doesn't attrack all of the gnats, put a small piece of fruit into the bowl, and uncover the bowl completely. let sit until all are gone. Just dump in sink when gnats are gone.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have to, refresh the wine bowl if the smell goes away, or add another piece of fruit.
