You want apple cider vinegar because it has that nasty sweet smell they love so much. Then add a few drops of dish soap. And you're done. Watch as the bodies build up.<div><br></div><div>Brandon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

    Ok. I went and bought some vinegar and put them in jars (3). Am I
    correct in understanding that the entrance needs to be narrow?<br>

                        <div>Hi Folks,
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>The strategy for killing fruit flies as
                            outlined on this webpage works miracles and
                            is uncomplicated:</div>

                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>I recommend hooking up an Internet
                            connected webcam so we can keep track of the
