Photo Day 337: Drink up little flies (9.2.11)
Fruit flies. Do these things even have a purpose in life other than to bug me? (And that "bug" pun was totally accidental!) Seriously...no fruit = no flies. Fruit in bowl on counter = little gnats taking over my kitchen. So annoying! Well thanks to google...there's an easy fix to this fly problem.
Step 1: Put all the fruit in the fridge. (That's my solution for all food. Cereal, pasta, rice. You name it. Just store everything in the fridge.)
Step 2: Set out a glass with some dish soap mixed into apple cider vinegar. The flies are drawn to drink the sweet vinegar and drown/die ingesting the dish soap.
Seems a bit Dexter-like now that I think about it. Ya know...this may qualify me as a fruit fly serial killer...hummmm.....but like Dexter I'm just making the world...well my kitchen at least...a better place.
