I do the same with soap but don’t even cover the shot glass.

They always turn out lumpy and uneven afterward, sometimes to the point of destroyed. I have even tried two different styles of washing machine, one with an agitator, the other was the new style with no agitator. Same result with both. So I frequently wash both the pillow casing (protective allergen type) and outer pillow case (weekly or every two weeks).

I think as long as you attract them with something fruity and sweet smelling, they are all in. Thankfully they were not designed to swim!

Cover with plastic wrap with holes poked in. They get in through the holes, can’t get out, and eventually have to land on the water, where they get sucked under by the soap and drown. I counted at least 50 fruit flies drowned in a bowl over the course of a week!
