A fruit fly trap works on the basis of the fruit fly being able to fly or crawl through an opening but not being able to crawl out. A common example of this is a cone shape with a small opening at the pointed end leading into a bottle or cup filled with something that would attract fruit flies.

A fruit fly trap usually contains a liquid attractant that lures the fruit flies inside. Once they enter the trap, they are unable to escape and eventually drown in the liquid. The attractant is usually a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and dish soap, which entices the fruit flies with its scent and sticky texture.
