There are fruit flys all over my house, mainly around the sink. Funny thing is there is nothing in the sink and we don't really eat fruit much less put shit in the sink!!!!!! WTF help...how do I get rid of these fuckers. They annoy the shit out of me and my roomies.

bleach in sink/disposal

set paper cone/jar traps (for a full how to just search fruit fly traps) with vinegar/dish soap/rotten fruit cocktail in the bottom in all affected rooms

shoot, i just put a drop of oil in a cup of water and it traps them all

the oil is just to attract them...you can put a few drops of soda or something in there there, too

^^^not much dude. you holding shit down on central campus for me?

7/31/2009 6:34:44 PM

from what i was told you dont need a trap. just put it in a cup and they land it in and i guess it kills them or something. i know they dont get out

7/31/2009 6:36:35 PM

if you make a funnel type thing you'll probably catch more. doesn't require them to get in the liquid.

i'm just guessing. i've never had this problem.

^^those things don't work worth a shit. they're everywhere back home b/c of all the hog/chicken/turkey houses, but they don't do a thing.

7/31/2009 6:50:10 PM

I thought they kept the flys away...no? They have them at resturants in Wilmywood, pretty much everywhere that I go.

if you have a garbage disposal put ice and baking soda down there, and then run the disposal - it'll clean it out.

7/31/2009 6:52:35 PM

^^just cause they're using them doesn't mean they work

i've seen plenty of flies fly right by them

7/31/2009 6:54:37 PM

Haji swears by them, I can't say they don't work. Maybe Arab flies are just different.

7/31/2009 7:24:47 PM

They didn't work when I was cooking a hog, so I got out the daisy and just knocked 'em down with air.

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
