Got fruit flies?
I do.
I know–I understand scientifically–that fruit attracts fruit flies. But there is a part of me that still believes wholeheartedly that fruit generates fruit flies. Because first, there are no fruit flies. Then there is fruit. Then there ARE fruit flies.
Fruit flies. Beginning to sound like ridiculous words.
Anyway. Here’s how you get rid of them.
Apple cider vinegar, in a jar, a few holes poked in the lid. Put the lid on the jar, and place it near the fruit fly epicenter. They’ll crawl in and won’t be able to get out.
Dispose of contents of jar at some point.
You’re welcome.

klampert… I’m glad someone else sees the scientific truth as I do. :)
GRR hate those little buggers…and i agree. my bananas create them
deanafunk!!! good to hear from you. did you find anything that was an A+ in the fruit fly war? aside from, you know, not having fruit anymore?
tam…. fruit fast. that sounds funny. :)
marilyn… that does sound like it would work.
Ed… well, Kroger is glad to see you as well. :)
I haven’t seen a Kroger label in AGES.
I’ve heard that a half inch of wine left in the bottom of a wine bottle will do the same thing.
we havent had a problem with fruit flies this year. but i will definitely remember this for next year!
if it doesnt work, we’ll go on a fruit fast!
Eureka! I have found you! I’ve always loved your musings, but some how life got in the way, and I stopped reading you! Many regrets! I must comment on the fruit flies – I have had them, too, this year. Tried the vinegar thing and I would give it a C+ for effectiveness. RATS! I just walked by the bananas and there was another blasted FRUIT FLY!
hahahaha!
