fruit flies

[mdchesne]

So I have them in the kitchen and the house in general thanks to food being left out and ripening fruit... w/e, enough history:

I head if you put a coffee cup of 2 parts dish soap and 3 parts beer, then fill halfway with water it'll take care of the littel b@stards. Anyone have something better? Flypaper and strips don't work 🙁

Get rid of their source and they will be gone in a day or two.

Only if you throw it out the window.

Even then, it doesn't really fly; it's simply being pulled by the Earth's gravity, downwards.

Really.

But, leave an apple sitting on top of the garbage 2 weeks later, and they seem to appear out of no where.

get a disposable bottle, some small, old, soda bottle, and make a fruit fly trap. Inside the bottle put some corn syrup, water, flour, um, i forget what else. you can probably find some info on google. in the mouth fo the bottle put a piece of paper rolled into a cone, with the cone pointing into the bottle. Make the hole small. The fruit flies fly in, attracted by the sugar. Once inside, they don't want to leave. Toss the bottle in a day or 2. If you wait more, they'll start breeding. FUN!
