I make Kombucha Tea and fruit flies love it. I use a laundry bag I bought at Walmart and cut it into the shape I need to fit the opening of the jar. I place a piece of the fabric over the opening of the jar and place a good rubberband over the fabric around the top of the jar. Make sure this rubberband is tight. And there will be small folds around the fabric where the rubberband is, gently pull these out, otherwise the flies will get in through the folds. They are good at what they do. You can use any type of sheer fabric with small enough holes. Also I have others. Hope this helps you. Hi: This is in response to fruit flies. I make Kombucha Tea and fruit flies love it.

I'm sure putting it near the sourdough would work too.

My cousin got a little Venus flytrap plant in a tiny pot that actually took care of her fruit fly trouble over the summer. Pretty smart I thought. Ugh, I hate fruit flies.

I've moved it to another container and will give it a few more days on the counter. I can't wait to make bread!
