A mum has taken to social media to share a clever trick, which will help you get rid of annoying fruit flies in your home.
The woman from Dublin uploaded a picture on Facebook of some fruit flies in her home.
"Anybody else getting these horrible little things? I don't have fruit and I'm getting them, disgusting," she captioned it.
She was met with a flurry of comments from people who felt the same way about the flies.
People said that despite keeping fruit in the fridge or having none in the house at all, they were still plagued by the presence of the pesky creatures, RSVP Live reports.
The mother-of-one told how "within the first half hour I had caught over twenty of them" - and she noted from there it only took a few hours before they were gone completely from her home.
Tina noticed her kitchen and home, like many people's this summer, had been ravaged by the pesky little flies, despite not having any fruit.
So to combat the situation she took a couple of regular tea cups, cling-film and apple-cider vinegar and got to work.
The benefits of apple-cider vinegar have long since been known, however, this new use for the stuff might just be the best one yet.
Tina filled the teacups with the apple-cider vinegar and placed cling-film over the top.
She then poked holes big enough for the tiny flies to get through in the layer of film.
The flies who are attracted to the sweetness can't stay away. They soon fly through the holes and are instantly trapped in the sticky vinegar.
Tina said that within hours her kitchen and home had returned to being free of the annoying house flies.
She said: "It's working so happy days."
