How to eradicate the drain flies in restaurant with a natural nontoxic bug trap? 1st let’s discuss about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a big issue with these solutions: they don’t work very well. In addition your house will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work most of the times: Create a Trap Using Stale Wine! Have any stale wine left over that you aren’t going to drink? Put it to good use by converting it into a homemade gnat trap. It’s very similar to the apple cider vinegar trap. First, pour some wine into a container then place the container next to the problem area. The goal of this remedy is to use the scent of the wine to attract the fruit flies into the container. The flies will immediately drown once they make contact with the liquid surface. Adding some dish soap will also help with this trap. You can also use a wine bottle as a container. Beer and any other type of beverages that rely on fermentation will work just as well. You may have greater success with beverages that have more of a fruity aromatic scent.
But the issue is that, very often, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will appear again and you will also have a problem with the very bad smell from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very strong and powerful liquid – it’s just not ok having that available in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Fruit flies may not love anything more than fruit, but if they had to pick a second favorite, it would be sugary beverages. Fruit flies will get at the last dregs of a coffee, soda, energy drink, or even water no matter where you hide them. Your trash and recycling bins aren’t safe from their terrible thirst. Before recycling any cans, cups, or bottles, rinse them out thoroughly with water from the sink. Then, dry them. It might feel silly to essentially wash something you’re throwing out, but you’ll be doing the fruit flies a favor if you don’t.
UV light attracts the bug: I bet you didn’t know that drain flies, fruit flies, and mosquitoes are attracted to certain spectrum of UV light! Well, they do, believe it or not. Which is why this Eon Luxe device works wonders to attract fruit flies to it, without the need of awful, pungent smelling vinegar. The whisper-quiet fan sucks the fruit fly or gnat into the device: Once they are attracted to the device by the light, the bug starts to migrate near the Eon Luxe device. When they get too close, the fan sucks them. The flies goes through a no-escape cone-shaped vortex: The fruit fly is then pushed down through a vortex that allows entry in, but no exit out.
