>> THIS IS THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE EVENT AND IT RUNS THROUGH SATURDAY. TICKETS ARE SEVEN DOLLARS. >>> DELICIOUS FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND SO ARE THE FRUIT FLIES UPON US. >> REBECCA KOLLS SHOWS US A DIY TRICK TO STOP THEM FROM BEGGING YOU. >> HERE THEY ARE. THESE FLIES WASTE NO TIME COMING IN GETTING FAT, LAYING EGGS AND NOT TAKING CARE OF THOSE EGGS AND THEY WILL TURN INTO BAGUETTES . NOT VERY APPEALING BUT ONE FRUIT FLY LIVES ABOUT 50 DAYS , LAYS EGGS EVERY SINGLE DAY ABOUT 50 OF THEM. IN NO TIME YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A SWARM OF THEM IF YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEM. HERE IS A HOMEMADE TRUCK THAT'S EASY TO DO AND IT WORKS. YOU NEED AN EMPTY PLASTIC CONTAINER LIKE A WATER BOTTLE, DON DISHWASHING LIQUID, APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND A LITTLE BIT OF WATER. WE START BY CUTTING OFF THE TOP OF THE WATER BOTTLE. TO THE BOTTOM WE ARE GOING TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF WATER , THE SAME AMOUNT OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND THEN ONE OR TWO DROPS OF DON DISHWASHING LIQUID. WE'RE GOING TO MIX THAT TOGETHER AND NOW WE TAKE THE TOP OF THE BOTTLE AND REMOVE THE CAP, RECYCLE THAT. WE WILL INVERT IT AND REPLACE IT LIKE A FUNNEL INSIDE THE CONTAINER LIKE SO. THERE FRUIT FLIES ARE ATTRACTED TO THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND THEY FLY IN AND THEY CANNOT GET OUT AND FORTUNATELY, THEY DROWNED AND IN NO TIME, HUNDREDS , LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF FRUIT FLIES. THAT'S ONE WAY TO KEEP THE FRUIT FLIES AWAY AND ALSO YOU CAN DO SOME KITCHEN MAINTENANCE TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY AWAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY FRUIT OR VEGETABLES LEFT OUT ON THE COUNTER THEY BECOME A BREEDING GROUND FOR HUNGRY FRUIT FLIES. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR COUNTERTOPS CLEAN, WIPING DOWN ANY SPILLS OR DRIPS . IF YOU LIKE TO LEAVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ON THE COUNTER, DON'T CUT THEM UP AND BE SURE TO WASH THE SKIN. AND IF YOU COLLECT KITCHEN COMPOST, BE SURE YOU DUMP IT DAILY AND DO NOT FORGET THE FILTER , SOMEBODY FORGOT AND WE'VE GOT EGGS READY TO HATCH. LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT SOME CLEANING TO DO. >> I HOPE NOBODY WAS EATING BREAKFAST. THAT ACTUALLY WAS VERY HELPFUL. >> BUT WHEN SHE TILTED THE BOTTLE . A PRETTY
