So, fruitflies
[Deleted User]

Is there a teensy, tiny semi-automatic gun I can acquire? Ahhhhh! We left a nectarine on our counter when we went on vacation. Needless to say, we got the Fruit flies. Well, then DH hasn't taken out the recycle yet & there are a billion in there too! What the heck!?!?!?!?!
I put out a dish with soap & water. That caught a few. Then I realized that the recycle bin was much more appealing. DH will empty it out (AND WASH IT OUT!!!) when he gets home. Then what should I do??

Re: So, fruitflies
This thing from pinterest totally works! I HATE fruit flies with a passion and this caught all of the ones in the kitchen!!
Just make sure the hole at the bottom is teeny tiny and you put something super sweet in the bottom. Voila!! Good luck!!

Yeah, it's been more than 24 hours. Today is day 3! Yuuuuuuuck!
OSC - that contraption looks kinda cool. What's that brown stuff on the bottom with the nanner?
Maybe molasses or something equally sticky and sweet? We've just used fruit and peels and stuff in the past. Anything that has a potent smell, like citrus.

We used to have them everywhere as a kid because we lived by a watermelon field (fun fact of the day!) My dad would make the funnel in a pop bottle contraption as seen above and put vinegar or wine in the bottom. Always seemed to work well.
Ewww, that's horrible then! I'd go with OSC's banana funnel. It looks promising! (Or at least like you tried.)
Yeah I would put out traps in addition to really scrubbing anywhere the eggs could be. (BARF). I HATE fruit flies and it seems like they can just keep coming once they start.
Sorry you're going through that!
I've heard that a wine bottle with half a glass of wine in it works well. Bonus: you get to drink a bottle of wine... well you do if you're not KU.

What'd you say about my banana funnel?!
(Doesn't that sound so dirty? Hehehehehehe)

Those things are such a pain! We just put some apple vinegar or red wine in a small cup with plastic wrap on top. Then poke a few holes in the plastic wrap with a toothpick. They get in because it smells good (apparently! ick!) and then can't escape. Easy peasy!
