How do I get rid of fruit flies in house plants without chemicals?

A friend gave me a plant and it had fruit flies in the soil. Now all my plants have them. Suggestions, please?

How do I get rid of fruit flies in house plants without chemicals?
plain old soap and water. mix 'em in a spray bottle and spray once a week 'til they're gone
Reply:Put the plants in front of the T.V. and make them watch "Dancing With The Stars..."





Even "fruit flies" hate that show...(and they'll just fly away somewhere more sane...)





Or try using Chanel #11...(it was an experimental batch that failed...)
Reply:Fill a cup half-way with a cider-vinegar %26amp; water mixture.


Cover with tinfoil and secure with a rubberband. Poke holes all over the top. Flies will be attracted into cup and die.





Good luck!

Reply:fly strips they work very well, you can hand them from the ceiling
Reply:Catch the biggest, meanest-looking spider you can find and leave it on your plant. Ladybugs are effective too, but a spider won't eat your plant. The spider is a gardener's friend.
