So I was hoping some of the more chemically minded individuals could help me with an issue I might have.

I am using the apple cider vinegar and sugar ghetto fruit fly trap (i.e. a bottle with a funnel going down to my liquid mixture). This trap works pretty well minus the smell associated with an open container of vinegar. So here is the issue:

My grow room is small and self contained. I am wondering what type of gas the vinegar and sugar mixture releases as it evaporates. In turn, will this gas harm my babies at a high ppm in the air? The overwhelming smell of vinegar got me thinking of fermentation. If this stuff emits a little CO2 thats not bad, but what if it emits something caustic and harmful.....

Any help would be appreciated as I am not well versed in chemistry or what vinegar is comprised of other than fermented apple juice???????

I agree, do you think I should get rid of the trap? All the flies seem to be gone.

yep they work good

try living by aa pig farm, the flys are relentless. They just fill up the tape and laugh at you around here.

Thanks for the input guys. I took the bottle out and it was afloat with carcasses. I have some sticky paper but the flies look gone for now.....

Have a good weekend everyone!
