Natural Fruit Fly Remedies That Actually Work

You don’t need harsh sprays or expensive exterminators to beat fruit flies.

Here are 5 natural remedies you can use today — including one that works in under 24 hours.

🍎 1. Apple Cider Vinegar + Dish Soap

• Add 1” of ACV to a bowl
• Mix in a few drops of dish soap
• Leave uncovered near fruit zones

🧠 Tip: The soap breaks surface tension, so flies sink and drown.

🧂 2. Salt + Baking Soda Drain Flush

• Mix ½ cup each of salt, baking soda, and vinegar
• Pour down drain overnight
• Flush with hot water in the morning

🍋 3. Lemon or Citrus Peels

Citrus attracts fruit flies — so place rinds in a jar, cover with plastic wrap, and poke holes.

🌿 4. Essential Oils (Peppermint, Clove, Basil)

• Mix a few drops with water
• Spray near sinks and trash cans

Flies hate these scents.
