Fruit Fly Death Trap

 Uimages Re-Nest 7 8 2008-Fruitfly1

Much like our famous Mosquito Trap, this fruit fly trap uses a reverse cone to filter critters into their untimely demise while relying on their stupidity to not fly right back out the hole. Maybe we’re just breeding super-smart funnel-escaping fruit flies or maybe we’re doing the world and our fruit baskets a favor. This trap uses Apple Cider Vinegar as its attractor and also recommend the use of a banana (if you can stand the stench).
