Question by Fallasteeni: “Space Invaders” – The Fruit Fly problem?
We all ran into this before. You buy an onion or melon or potato and it sits on your counter for ages waiting to be eaten but for some reason you keep forgetting or are too tired to cook by the time you get home. Next thing you know is you have LAODS of fruit flies floating around all over your house / apartment.
I know the “obvious and easy” answer here is to throw away anything rotten, but even AFTER that, I still see them running around.
What’s the best way to get rid of them in a fashion that doesn’t render the kitchen unusable (by sparing raid for example which comes all ver the plates, dish rack, oven, etc…)?

Seal your doors and windows? That usually would keep them out, unless you live in a hot area and like a cool breeze… then you’d use flyscreen.
Be careful when opening and closing doors, they would get in anyway, but looking for the right time to open or close the door could cut the amount of flies entering.

More Tips On Saving When Shopping For Accessories
Buying auto accessories largely depends on you budget. You have already made a critical decision in buying an auto. This might have weighed heavily on your finances. Is it worth taking on a venture that can cost you as if you were purchasing an entire auto? The answer is a vehement no. Consider the following tips when buying accessories for your auto:
Go in for fairly used accessories. These are at times cheap and even of the same quality as new ones, plus the fact that the have been tested and you actually see them functioning. Another issue relating to saving is the usage of the used accessory. How long it has been used also tells of the price. However, take a personal inspection to see what features and how frequently is has been repaired. Keep off from accessories that have been tampered a lot with or that have been used for a very long time. It has been said that very cheap becomes more expensive.
What do you do with some auto accessories? You modify the usage of your auto. Thus an accessory can increase or decrease that value of an auto. For example, when you affixed a security device to your car, it becomes difficult for it to be stolen. This relates to your finances when you are faced with insuring or reinsuring the automobile. When the value of you auto increases the rate of insurance also increases and vise versa. You tend to pay more simply because you wanted an accessory.
Before you buy an accessory, look for appraisals in the form of ratings of the item. There is a lot of information available over the net. Ratings come from previous consumers and they guide you from plunging your finances into a mess. Any prudent and honest dealer will always provide room for feedback of its product and will makes these feedbacks open to the public. If his business is on a good footing, there is nothing to hide. A true dealer will even tell you the operational costs of your intended accessory.
Another place to look for cheaper yet lasting accessories is at auction sales. Timing here is a matter of importance. Auction sales are mostly carried at the end of the year when most dealers will want to clear off old stocks. The question is, are you prepared to wait till that time? Patience is a quality which must always be balanced with your finances. It is fine and good to wait when you can save a good part of your money.
It is worthy to save anything from the deal. You must not think that your savings will start with a hundred. Anything will do. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Go the no-chemical way and buy flypaper spools that hang from the ceilng and the flies land on it and get stuck and die. They also land on the walls when it gets dark and you could vacuum them off the walls. You can also go to the store and buy one of those plastic one gallon pails of “Strawberry Revel” ice cream from Wal-Mart, eat the ice cream and leave it sticky with ice cream goop. Put the empty sticky pail somewhere with the lid off. A lot of fruit flies will gather inside to eat the stickiness. Quickly put the lid on the container to trap them inside. Then put the container in the freezer long enough to make them dormant. Then take the container out, knock it on the table to knock the flies down to the bottom, take off the lid and pour them into a little container of rubbing alcohol. Then put the ice cream pail back to catch more. You will catch an enormous number of them that way.
