How do you get rid of the little flying bugs around your fruits in the house? |
[Edit] |
Answer
You are probably making reference to the common fruit fly "drosophila melanogaster", or to one of the many species in the genus "drosophila". There is a wonderful article in Wikipedia. This will at least give you a direction in searching for ways to eliminate them. A link is provided.
ANSWER:
First. Remove all fruit from the area or just stick it in the fridge. Take a banana peel and a gallon jug. Place the peel in the jug and most of the flies will join it, usually over night. For the ones in flight, I hit with a solution of dish soap and water in a spray bottle about 25% soap and 75% water. This makes their wings stick to their bodies and they fall to the ground.
ANSWER 3: Citronella is very good for repelling insects like flies. You can get it in candle and essentiall oil form.
