Fruit flies can be annoying in any home or business. These tiny insects can quickly infest your kitchen, pantry, or other areas where fruits and vegetables are present. Fortunately, using a KONNA fruit fly trap can effectively help you get rid of these pesky insects. Let’s go through the process of using a KONNA fruit fly trap to keep your space fly-free.

1. Prepare the bait liquid

Here are our favourite bait liquid's recipes for KONNA:

Recipe 1: Apple Cider Vinegar

Ingredients:

• Apple Cider Vinegar: 25 ml
• Water: 25 ml

• Dish Soap: A few drops

Instructions:

• Mix Ingredients: Inside KONNA container, combine the apple cider vinegar and water. Stir to mix them together.
• Add Sugar: Add the sugar to the vinegar and water mixture. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. The sugar helps attract the fruit flies to the bait.
• Add Dish Soap: Add a few drops of dish soap to the mixture. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the liquid, causing the fruit flies to sink into the liquid when they land on it, rather than floating on the surface.
