Apple Cider Vinegar Gnat Trap Recipe That Actually Works

Apple Cider Vinegar Gnat Trap Recipe

This natural, effective apple cider vinegar gnat trap uses just a few pantry staples to eliminate fruit flies and gnats from your kitchen—safely and affordably. A Mocktail Aura-approved home remedy for bug-free bliss.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 trap 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water (optional)
  • 2–3 drops Dawn dish soap or eco-friendly alternative

Instructions

  1. Pour apple cider vinegar into a small bowl or jar.
  2. Add water (optional) to dilute slightly.
  3. Drop in dish soap to break surface tension.
  4. Optional: cover with plastic wrap and poke small holes for extra containment.
  5. Place near produce, compost bins, or houseplants.
  6. Replace every 2–3 days for best results.

Notes

For stronger traps, warm the vinegar slightly or add citrus peel. Always use raw apple cider vinegar—white vinegar won’t attract gnats effectively. For kid/pet-friendly homes, use the plastic wrap or funnel version.
