Fruit Flies

Got fruit flies?

If you've got 2 fruit flies, you might as well have 1,000. They seem to magically appear, and can smell food from far far away. They're so tiny that it's much easier for them to get in through a window screen or door jam. Some of them might even ride home with you from the produce isle. And it's not just fruit they like, they LOVE booze. They feed on the alcohol, then lay eggs in there that hatch within hours.

To round them all up, throw a fruit fly party. Leave a few sips wine or beer in a bottle, just an inch or so, along with a few drops of cooking oil or dish soap. Once they hit the surface, they'll be stuck. You can also use a glass or bowl. Just cover it with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in there, the fruit flies will find their way in, but not out.
