Need to get rid of those pesky “fruit flies” in your kitchen? Beverly Byer of Centennial, Colo., feels our pain. She offers this tip which should keep those annoying little insects under wraps, for good.
“Place a few slices of overripe banana in the bottom of a jar,” she writes. “Cover the top of the jar with plastic wrap. Poke several holes through the plastic wrap with a toothpick. The fruit flies can find their way into the jar but cannot find their way out.”
This web site certainly has all the info I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
Fortaleza CEMotumbe1! Mukuio! Sarave1!Gostaria de parabenizar a equpie e ao elenco do filme Jardim das Folhas Sagradas .Ne3o vi o filme todo, ne3o tive acesso e ne3o estou com dinheiro para ir ao cinema, mas vi o trailer no Youtube.com e a partir dele fiquei sabendo ate9 da existencia de um site do filme.Entrei no site, gostei muito do design e assiti todos os veddeos com entrevistas com pessoas de alguma forma ligadas e0 produe7e3o ou recepe7e3o do filme.Fiquei muito bem impressionado. Abordar preconceito racial, identidade e9tnica, especulae7e3o imobilie1ria, relae7f5es extra-conjugais, entre outros parece ser um bom filme.Futuramente quando puder irei vea-lo todo.O filme esteticamene falando parece ser muito bem realizado.Fruto de muito trabalho.c9 bastante salutar que o Banco do Nordeste topou em bancar o filme, sendo um dos infameros parceiros e patrocinadores.Longa vida a Pola Ribeiro e sua equpie!Ase9!
I also have another remedy for fruit flies:::
small juice glass, half full w/cider vinegar and a couple drops of Dawn liquid dish detergent.
Works wonders!!!
For about three years we have not seen even one “fruit fly” and we each eat one banana a day. Three years ago we bought a Simplehuman 1.5 liter Countertop Trash Can (CW1637) and a box of Hefty Trash Bags (50 per box; $4.29 at Weis Markets; only store in Frederick, MD that sells them). We emply the trash can about every four days, put a secure twist tie (from product department) on and put in garbage. There is no smell on the countertop, or garbage can and no “fruit flies”.
Quite by accident, I found a remedy for those pesky fruit flies.
While drinking a margarita flavored wine cooler, one flew in the bottle and died on the spot. I wasn’t going to finish the rest of it and left it on the counter. When I returned, there were four more in there.
That aroused curiosity, so I poured an inch of it into a small pimento jar and left it close to a bad banana.
In two days, the jar was black with the little monsters!
Makes me wonder what that stuff does to my insides!
Another approach to catching fruit flies is to construct a trap by placing a paper funnel (rolled from a sheet of notebook paper) into a jar which is then baited with a few ounces of cider vinegar. Place the jar trap(s) wherever fruit flies are seen. This simple but effective trap will soon catch any remaining adult flies which can then be killed or released outdoors. See:
