The Trip
NY is fun and that's all there is to it. Now I'm home and wondering how to get rid of fruit flies. Ick. I didn't have this problem when I was in NY. I just walked around, wandered through museums, ate fine foods, and cavorted with pals. I did some work at a literacy conference too but compared to the fruit fly dilemma, that task was a piece of cake. They seem to like to hop into my wine, so I'm leaving a glass of wine out overnight as a trap. I'll let you know how it works out.

There are a lot of products out there to get rid of them, but if you find the rotting food source and eliminate it and then keep your house rotting food free from that point on, they will not be able to reproduce and will eventually die out. And yes, a drain or garbage disposal can house your flies. A gelatinous film forms in the drain where food decomposes and the larva are deposited in that film. There's a special product for drains with fruit flies in them, but the boiling water may do the trick. Keep us posted, kc. We have some gin bob, so i'll experiment with that later. And sisterwoman, with the wine country so close by, that might be part of the problem.
