fruit fly trap
Vinegar-baited snare
A fruit fly trap is a device designed to attract and capture the small flies that gather around overripe produce.
Commercial versions typically use a container with entry holes and a liquid attractant.
Homemade traps often employ apple cider vinegar with a drop of dish soap to break surface tension: I set out a fruit fly trap near the compost bin.
