Try mixing apple cider vinegar with dish soap and placing it in a cup next to your sink . You should see results within 2-3 days !
You can buy on Amazon an Apple Fruit Fly catcher from the company Terro . It ’ s a cute little apple shaped trap . You put it on the counter and it gets rid of them completely . Make sure you buy the apple shaped one because that ’ s the one that works the best .
If you leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight , you are practically guaranteed to have fruit flies the next day . Even if it ’ s too hard to wash the dishes every night , just rinsing them off so there aren ’ t any food particles will help .

Answer to Question # 922
Troublesome Toes
To the reader who experiences pain in one of their toes , the problem may be gout . You should try drinking celery or cherry juice . To see if it is gout you can try drinking celery or cherry juice , and stop eating white flour , sugar , red meat and fatty fish for a few days . If the symptoms become better , then it is likely gout . It ’ s not a sneaker or shoe problem , rather a metabolic problem . You will need to follow a low carb diet and eliminate white flour and sugar . I would also suggest avoiding all processed oils such as canola and soybean oil . Healthy oils are extra virgin olive oil , coconut oil , avocado oil , palm oil , and grapeseed oil . There are other oils that are healthy but can only be used cold , such as flaxseed oil , hemp oil , borage oil , evening primrose oil , and chia seed oil .
