Natural Repellent For Fruit Flies

Fruit flies, also known as vinegar gnats and Drosophila, are small insects that are attracted to ripened and fermenting fruits, vegetables and other food.

Fruit flies, also known as vinegar gnats and Drosophila, are small insects that are attracted to ripened and fermenting fruits, vegetables and other food. They can damage the quality of the fruit by contaminating them with bacteria or fungi.

If you have an abundance of ripe bananas around, you’re likely to find these pesky little creatures hanging out on them. To keep them away, simply put a banana peel in their path; they’ll smell it right away and avoid your bananas altogether!

To attract fruit flies: Use red wine vinegar in a bowl or jar as bait for fruit flies. They will be attracted to this odorant but cannot survive long in a solution containing it.
