Left lid off a quart of cider vinegar. When pouring on my salad, noticed
dozens fruit flies in bottom. All I had to do for my trap was leave my lid
off my jar of cider vinegar. My fruit flies all gone. I had lots of fruit
flies because my compost bucket in kitchen never has a lid on it. I don't
keep lid on my compost because it always gets mold inside it and I have to
clean it.
