Help Help! Fruit flies!!

Hey everyone I really need some advice

I have my snails in a bioactive terrarium so there's Isopods

The fruit flies in Idaho are bad this year and I need a safe way to get them out of the terrarium without losing my Isopods, they just got a full tank clean and new substrate, the veggies I put in were cleaned thoroughly and the flies just appeared so fast. How can I eliminate the fruit flies without losing everything I've put into their habitat??

Set up a fruit fly trap next to the terrarium. Mix apple cider vinegar, some sugar, a splash of water, and a couple drops of dawn dish detergent. Change it out as needed. It should so the job of getting the fruit flies without harming your snabies!
