Fruit Flies!! EVERYWHERE!! GRRRRRRRR?

Ok I have tried EVERYTHING. Bleach, lysol, other cleaning supplies. I move my fruit into the fridge (which really sux). Yet they never seem to go away. I am really really really really frustrated. Does anyone know of any way to get rid of them besides keeping fruit away and cleaning constently? PLEASE! I'm going to turn Rambo soon!

Fruit Flies!! EVERYWHERE!! GRRRRRRRR?
set out a cup of apple cider vinegar with a few squirts of dish soap. They are attracted to the apple cider vinegar (so white vinegar will not work) and then when they get in there, the dish soap bogs down their wings so they can't fly and they drown. Pretty gruesome huh? mwa-ha ha ha! I hate those things!
Reply:Just like you %26amp; I flies need moisture to survive -

* Spray insecticide where ever it's dark %26amp; there is moisture. They live in drain holes (bathrooms, kitchens, Laundries etc).



* Also try using fly paper,



* Or use an insect bomb, ensure you turn off all naked flames - or else you'll blow your house up; That will get rid off them anyway!!!



Good Hunting..
Reply:Flying insect spray will kill them but to keep them away you have to keep all food put away and make sure your trash is emptied. They love to reproduce in milk as well as fruit. I even read that you should make sure your sink drain is clean because they will reproduce there too. They don't live long so if they don't have a place to reproduce they will be gone in a hurry
Reply:The only thing that i have ever done that worked is this: I put all food and drinks away and then i opened every window (you have to open the screens too) in the house for about 2 hours. And I never saw another fruit fly. This was in the late fall in Maryland. It was a little bit cold and a little windy. I don't know if these factors explain why opening the windows worked. But it did.
Reply:Do you have house plant′s? They could be Gnats. They look like fruit flies. If you do have house plant′s , then let the dry out for a week or put them outside in the sun for a couple of hr′s. Gnats live of the fresh soil and dead roots from the plant′s, also put the stopper in the kitchen sink before going to bed. This way they will have no damp place to hide nor will they have any water to drink

Reply:I have tried a fruit fly repellant candle, available from a home decorating and floraculture company known as All Things Bright and Beautiful.... contact them at: allthingsbrightandbeautiful@rogers.com (should be rogers.com)

They worked great for us.



good luck!
Reply:Sticky fly paper (you can get a 4- or 6-pack as the $1 store) and setting out a glass with a sweet drink in it...the fruit flies go in there and drown in the water. Make sure to take your trash out daily and clean out your sink really well, too.



I've also found if you fill a spray bottle with soapy water and spray the flies, they'll fall down and you can squish them with a paper towel. A little gross, but it's a little faster than waiting for them to fly into the sticky paper.



In the meantime, if you want to keep your fruit out of the fridge, you can get those screen picnic covers to keep the flies away from your fruit.
