One of the fruit flies favorite meals is fermenting fruits and vinegar. So try putting a half filled jar of vinegar out with a small funnel thus allowing the fruit fly in but not out. Another option to try is using an odorless jar with pieces of banana in it and use some cling film over the top so it is completely one hundred percent sealed and then put a few small holes in the top, funny thing is the fruit fly will go in but won’t go out.
