The Fruit-fly Trap

All you need is a jar ( any container will work), a small piece of plastic wrap,
a rubber band, a bit of applesauce, apple cider or something 
else fruity and sticky, for fruit-fly "bait" and a toothpick.
*Pour the bait into the jar.
*Put the plastic on the top, tight and wrinkle free.
*Hold it down with the rubber band.
*Use the toothpick to make 5-10 small holes in the plastic wrap.
Place the trap near the favorite fruit-fly hangout in your kitchen.
It takes a day or two for it to work but it will.
After the flies are caught, bring the trap outside, rinse the jar, replace the bait
and re-use the plastic for the next round if needed.
