vinegar vs. honey

It's official: you will catch more flies with vinegar than with honey.

We have had quite a few fruit flies in our apartment lately, so I put out some fruit fly traps. To make a fruit fly trap, take a jar and poke a few holes in the lid. Fill with an inch of vinegar or honey. I put out two traps, one with honey and one with apple cider vinegar. One week later, the results are in.
apple cider vinegar: 9 dead fruit flies
honey: 0 dead fruit flies
