Death to fruit-flies

[MissBehavior]

How can I do it? I have a swarm in my kitchen that I can't get rid of.

Any suggestions? PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE?!?!?!

[stephen_c]

take out the garbage!

[sidekick]

we have them in our fraternity because dirty irish boys like to leave rotting food in the hallway.

best way to get rid of them is to get rid of any food they might be eating. they die in one day, so they'll all be dead once you cut off their food source pretty quick

They keep swarming around my fruit bowl, but there is only fresh nectarines and tomatoes in there...I don't want to put plastic wrap over the bowl, because then the fruits can't breathe.

I need a way to suck them into something and KILL them. :(

DIE FRUIT-FLIES!

How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies


Fruit flies can be a pain, especially in the summer. They're hard to get rid of. But try this!

Mix the following ingredients together in an open jar or other container (the quantities are relative to how many flies you're trying to get rid of):


1/2 qt water (2 c)
2 T sugar
2 T (white) vinegar
a couple drops of liquid dishsoap
Leave the mixture sitting out in the infested area, as long as needed.

Lithe and I are currently testing the above method. We'll let you know.

I watched a couple of the little bastards hanging out on the rim of the jar. They looked like they were talking it over..

"I dunno man, seems to good to be true... all that sugar.. AND vinegar?.. come on.."

"I'm hungry dood!... I'm gonna go for it"

"Suit yourself.. I'm outta here"

clean up after yourself and this wouldent be a concern, in all honesty.

[miss.myra]

Get rid of all the nectarines! I'll come over and eat them ALL for you!

NOT MY FAULT!

I blame the boy. He left watermelon rinds on the counter overnight. *shakes fist*

There were no problems until then.

[MissBehavior]

NO!

BTW: Myra, did you know they grow un-fuzzy peaches now? And I'm NOT talking nectarines!

[thorn]

No no no. Make a fruitfly trap. Its easy. Roll some paper into a tube, with one real small hole at one end and a big hole at the other. Grab a jar. Put a bit of fruit into the jar. Tape the tube into the jar so that the only way in is the little hole. . Fruitflys go in, but can't get out. When it fills up and you don't have anymore fruitflys, say goodbye to the jar.

2 fruit flies at the bottom of my jar =D

WHAT'S UP NOW BITCHES?!

[KandyKid]

I am constantly at War with those little fuckers, so much so, that now i have to keep my fruit in the fridge, I keep fruit out for a few days, they all gather, dozens of em, then i shove the fruit in my fridge and watch all those little fuckers die from lack of food...im evil... :D

[trance4life]

mmmm watermelon

[MissBehavior]

Okay. After discussion with my mommy, my nectarines and tomatoes have been washed and put into paper bags (to "hide" them from the flies). I am currently trying Lithe's suggestion, and hearing Dave say that they are already drowning gives me the warm fuzzy feeling.

that must really suck!!! but yea i unno u could go get a big butterfly net and catch em all and throw em outside! you could make a game of it :)

[Crazy Dave]

I use amber Vacume (sp?) to get rid of them. Then again I was teching while cleaning her house while she was out for the week end.

[MC Hammered]

Light up a doob and blow the smoke into the swarm.

They'll get high, fall to the ground and then you can stomp them.

[booshka]

I don't like using chemicals, but my old work used to just spray a water/bleach mixture in the air and one surfaces....seemed to do the trick.

you should look for a nest too.....If it's such a bad problem they might be nesting somewhere in your kitchen.

[CodaDrummer]

Has anyone ever had a locker at school that was infested by these things.... I didn't....:351:
