Say Goodbye to Fruit Flies and Gnats for Good – The Paper Towel Trick Changes Everything

🛡️ Extra Tips to Keep Gnats & Fruit Flies Away for Good

Once you’ve knocked down the population with the paper towel trick, prevent them from coming back with these habits:

1. Store Fruit in the Fridge

Especially bananas, peaches, and tomatoes — these are magnets for fruit flies.

2. Take Out the Trash Daily

Rotting food and peels in the garbage are prime breeding grounds.

3. Clean the Sink Drain Weekly

Pour baking soda and vinegar down your drain, then rinse with hot water.

4. Avoid Overwatering Houseplants

Gnats love moist soil. Let the top inch dry out between waterings.

5. Use a Small Fan in the Kitchen

Fruit flies hate moving air — a low-speed fan can help keep them away.

✅ Final Thoughts

You don’t need expensive sprays, plug-ins, or chemical traps to get rid of these pests. With just a paper towel and a splash of vinegar, you can break the cycle and reclaim your kitchen — the natural way.

It’s one of those old-school, “why didn’t I think of that?” tricks that actually works — and once you try it, you’ll be telling your friends about it too.
