How Do You Get Rid Of Fruit Flies Vol. UGHHH

[reasonabldoubt22]

They're raping my kitchen, anyone in the same boat?

I hate these pieces of $#!+

I thought about making a paint ball gun with balls filled with raid, and just going Rambo on them *+**@

Clean your Crib....

 

[mateen cleaves]

[dakingii]

U cant, u just have to wait for the season to change.

 

[politics as usual 22]

Its just in my kitchen

 

[psykho]

catch them with yo hands

 

[blastamasta8]

Dont those flies plant huge larvae in living flesh?

 

[dirtylicious]

this worked for me..I had a bunch in my kitchen once..

Make a funnel trap:

• Make a cone out of the sheet of paper (like a funnel). Tape the outside of the cone so that it stays in place.
• Check that the cone fits snugly into a glass or cup.
• Cut off the tip of the cone so that you now have a funnel.
• Pour a small amount of cider vinegar into the glass or cup. (Rum mixed with orange juice also works very well - additionally, a half teaspoon of baker's yeast in water can also suffice)
• Insert the funnel into the glass or cup, but don't let the bottom of the funnel touch the liquid. Tape the funnel in two or three places from the outside so that there is no gap between the glass and the cone.
• Place your newly created trap on a flat surface. The flies will be attracted by the smell of the fruity vinegar and fly into the cone. The flies will slip down the cone and will either land in the vinegar and drown or will be trapped and not able to get back out. If you leave the trap overnight, the trapped fruit flies will eventually fall into the vinegar and drown.

eg:

Does that contraption only work on fruit flies? or will it work on regular flies too?

I work in a lab with fruit flies, and this is basically exactly what we do. Fruit flies are dumb as hell.

instead of making this contraption, just buy this...

 

[dirtylicious]

fruit flies are not attracted to those sticky papers

 

[hyphysole]

I had em once, I jus threw out what they were attracted to, and they were gone within a couple days

 

[jc5123]

you can also just put the cider vinegar into a cup, put some cling wrap over the top and poke tiny holes in so they can get in but not out, works pretty goodtoo
