Fruit Flies & Pinterest, who knew?

Out of the 384 brilliant bits I've pinned and 40 ideas I've Liked, never in my wildest dreams did I think the first one I would try at home is this uber simple fruit fly trap from The Idea Room!

But........I did!  I don't know where they came from, but suddenly we had fruit flies and those little buggers multiply fast.  Thankfully, I saw this one night on Pinterest and immediately Liked it and headed off to its original source so that I could learn more.

And it works!!  No chemicals, no expensive sprays or traps, just a couple of pennies for a piece of fruit, some tape, and a piece of paper, rolled to make a small hole for them to enter, but not fly out of (I used lightweight cardstock...'cause goodness knows, I've got a ton o' that!).

Best, simplest idea of someone else's I've put to work in awhile!
