Q: Almost any jar will work in a pinch. This method is probably the most effective, efficient way to trap a larger number of fruit flies. Fruit flies feed on anything sugary, so you have a lot of options at your disposal. Any type of fruit, juice, soda, or other sweet item will provide a great incentive for fruit flies to fly into your trap. Try one of these bait ideas ranked from most to least effective:  Chopped up pieces of over ripe or rotting fruit. For example, a few slices of bruised banana, a soft strawberry or squishy peach will work great. Honey, maple syrup or corn syrup. Any flavor of fruit juice or soda. Make sure to use the regular kind; diet soda won't work. Apple cider vinegar or soy sauce. The dregs from a wine or beer bottle can work in a pinch. Fruit flies are attracted to the sugars in alcoholic beverages. A funnel with a small hole will allow the flies to enter the jar, but they won't be smart enough to fly back out. Tape the funnel so that it keeps its shape. Rest the funnel inside the mouth of the container so that the narrow side is pointing down. The tip of the funnel should not touch the bait.  Any piece of scrap paper or a page ripped from a magazine can easily be made into a paper funnel. You can also make a funnel by using a toothpick to poke a hole in the bottom of a coffee filter. Put it near the kitchen sink, the garbage can, or the fruit bowl. If you're dealing with fruit flies in multiple parts of the kitchen, you might want to make more traps to set out.  Leave the traps out overnight. By the next day, you should see fruit flies happily eating the bait.  If you didn't trap any flies, try new bait and make sure the hole is big enough to let the flies into the trap. Pour a mixture of warm water and dish soap into the container. The soap works to reduce the surface tension of the water and cause the flies to drown. Wait a minute or two, then discard the contents of the jar.  If the trap is still buzzing with fruit flies, take the trap outside before removing the funnel. Rinse the jar thoroughly with hot water when you're finished. You can reuse it to make a new trap. Fruit flies tend to multiply quickly. Their life cycle can be as short as eight days. It's likely that you'll have to repeat the trapping process several times to fully rid your kitchen of adult fruit flies.  Fruit fly eggs hatch eight to ten days after they are laid, so you may need to use the trapping process every day for a week or two. You can stop when you no longer see flies in your trap after leaving it out for several hours. To fully rid your kitchen of fruit flies as fast as possible, take measures to get rid of the eggs, too.
A: Choose a tall jar, wine bottle, old soda bottle or vase to serve as the base of the trap. Add fruit fly bait. Roll a piece of paper to create a funnel and put it on the container. Set the trap in a fruit fly-infested area. Kill the trapped fruit flies. Repeat until the trap remains empty.

Q: It’s hard to go wrong with a classic full-frame model of sunglasses like aviators or Wayfarers. These are versatile styles that can be worn with anything from a t-shirt and jeans to resort casual getup, but they serve best as a laid-back, casual accessory. They also tend to be constructed from simple materials like plastic and lightweight metal, making them readily available and inexpensive.  Full-frame glasses are the most durable because the lenses are enveloped and secured on all sides by the frame. Aviators should be reserved for less formal appearances, and won’t go as well with nicer attire as something like a Wayfarer or Persol. The lenses of half-frame glasses are attached to the frame at the top and open at the bottom. They are a more vintage frame style and have a considerable business and fashion-savvy appeal. Glasses like the Browline/Clubmaster and semi-rimless complement a suit and tie or shorts and flip flops equally well.  These should be handled with care since most of their lenses are exposed. Half-frame glasses are versatile and make a great alternative to the same old humdrum styles you see everywhere. Slip on a pair of sunglasses that can hang with you while you’re shooting hoops or mountain biking over rough terrain. Performance sunglasses are typically made with composite materials that are lightweight, flexible and specially treated to minimize glare. A pair of a shield, wraparound or sport half-frames will ensure that you look good while taking part in your favorite pastimes. For high-impact activities, get a strap to go along with your sunglasses so that you don’t lose them. Since almost every part of a pair of sunglasses comes in many different designs, you have a lot more options to choose from than just what’s on the rack. Play it cool with some timeless Persols, or experiment with more unusual frame shapes and colors, like John Lennon’s trademark round pair. Use your shades to show off your unique personality. The number of possible combinations is virtually endless.  If you really want to shake things up, wear a pair of specialty frames. These come in all sorts of shapes like rectangles, ovals, triangles, and even stars! You can have your sunglasses tinted almost any color for an extra splash of character.
A: Try on a pair of full-frame glasses. Enhance your wardrobe with stylish half-frames. Emphasize sporty performance. Customize your look.

Q: If you want to be able to reuse your cooking oil, it’s important that you start off with a cooking oil that is worth reusing. Choose a cooking oil with a high smoking point – this is the temperature at which the oil starts to break down. A higher smoking point means your cooking oil will last better under higher temperatures and will be more reuseable.  Try using canola, vegetable, or peanut cooking oils. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoking point, and doesn’t readily lend itself to reuse. Don’t try to store your used cooking oil until it has completely cooled off. As soon as you are finished using the oil, turn off the heat source and let the oil sit (overnight if necessary) before you try to transfer it into a container for storage. If you leave the oil out overnight, be sure to cover it with something to keep it from getting inadvertently contaminated. Whenever you use cooking oil, there will always be something left behind that you don’t want to leave lying around in the oil. This might include breading crumbs, loose batter, or extra fat. To get rid of these extras, you can filter them out by running the oil through a cheesecloth. Make sure you place the cheesecloth on top of a clean container that can hold the filtered oil. Pour the oil onto the cheesecloth and let the clean oil spill into the new container. This will help you avoid making a big mess. Remember to never pour cooking oil down the drain. This can cause clogs and other damage to your pipes over time.
A:
Choose a cooking oil with a high smoking point. Let the oil cool. Filter out the unwanted leftovers with cheesecloth. Place the cheesecloth over a clean open container.
