I think it's common now that the weather is getting colder. Those nasty little $uckers are coming in from the outside. Chat Icon

Re: Fruit Flies

Found this little recipe:

Mix 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and a couple drops of liquid dishsoap. Leave this mixture sitting out wherever the infestation is for as long as you need to.

Re: Fruit Flies

When I used to work in a restaurant, we would leave a little red wine in a cup overnight. They would go in there and drown. The recipe above works the same way. They, obviously, are attracted to swwet smells.
Good Luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon
