How to eradicate the drain flies in your home with a natural nontoxic bug trap? 1st let’s discuss about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a big problem with these solutions: they don’t work very well. Additionally your restaurant will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work very often: Does apple cider vinegar and dish soap work to get rid of fruit flies? Does dumping bleach down your sink get rid of drain flies? Do these methods work? The short answer is yes and no. One of the most common “natural” way to kill fruit flies is to pour a small amount of vinegar and dish soap in a little bowl, cover it with plastic and poke little holes in it. The flies go in, and don’t know how to get back out. The sweet aroma of vinegar draws them toward the dish, and once they touch the liquid, the dish soap drowns them. Problem solved.
But the problem is that, very often, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will appear again and you will also have a problem with the bad odor from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and pungent liquid – it’s just not fun having that open in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Clean the counters and desks: Fruit flies don’t need much to survive and thrive. A crumb here, a spill there, and they’re more than content to subsist indefinitely. If you want these winged terrors to pack up and hit the road once and for all, you’re going to have to deprive them of even that. If you aren’t already, you’re going to have to scrub down your desk every day. Take out your personal trash, too. When you’re done with that, make sure the kitchen is nice and clean before you leave every night. Even if it was someone else’s cleaning week. Yeah, yeah, we know: it’s not fair. But fruit flies don’t play fair, and neither can you. You’ve gotta hit them where it hurts, and where it hurts are those crumbs leftover from the ham sandwich you had for lunch yesterday.
UV light attracts the bug: I bet you didn’t know that drain flies, fruit flies, and mosquitoes are attracted to certain spectrum of UV light! Well, they do, believe it or not. Which is why this Eon Luxe device works wonders to attract fruit flies to it, without the need of awful, pungent smelling vinegar. The whisper-quiet fan sucks the fruit fly or gnat into the device: Once they are attracted to the device by the light, the bug starts to migrate near the Eon Luxe device. When they get too close, the fan sucks them. The flies goes through a no-escape cone-shaped vortex: The fruit fly is then pushed down through a vortex that allows entry in, but no exit out.
