For 18 years a popular segment of Bob and Marianne in the Morning was Helpful Hints. Every morning I would give one or two, most were hits, and some were down right silly.

So, I've decided I'm going to start again beginning with fruit flies. Setting a bowl of fruit on the counter will ensure it will get eaten but fruit flies are bound to show up. What do you do?

Fill an empty wine bottle half way with apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of dish soap set it by the bowl of fruit. The vinegar attracts the bugs and the soap creates a sticky surface so they can't get out.

Be sure to check out helpful hints daily to see how else I can help you out with little every day problems.
