Easy Fruit Fly Trap

Step 2 Choose a container

You want something small, and hard to knock over (especially if you're baiting it with red wine). I have found the bottom half of a water/pop bottle or a little yogourt container to be ideal.

Disposable?
I like to use disposable plastic containers because the thought of cleaning out a fruit fly hotel does not appeal to me and I'd rather just toss the whole thing at the end.

Why cut off the top?

Smaller, looks less like clutter, less likely to knock over... nothing critical. Really, my favourite containers are the little yogourt cups with the foil tops.
