Fly at me one more time......

I have been racking my brain since you sent this to me. The bell finally went off while I was eating supper. What we used to do is take a mason jar, and with an ice pick jab holes in the lid, put a piece of fruit in the jar and it will attract the fruit flies. When you have a good bit in the jar, stick it in the freezer. It will kill them. Then repeat the process until they all gone. It usually takes a couple of days.

I suggest you watch the video @TiarasOceanView shared. I recently had this problem, but I didn't mix my vinegar with water, I used apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of dish soap and it worked.

Fill clear plastic bags with water - over half full. Secure end and place on counter or wherever you keep you fruit. I have forgotten the word but it could be 'refraction' (?) The flies stay away! We use ths a lot in Jamaica where there are many outdoors eating places.

What are those fruits ? Let me know. I can share my side of the story only when I know what is involved And for the record, fruit flies arent my friends. Maybe ants, rats

Here is a nice young man in Texas that tells everyone how to get rid of those fruit flies Rosekitty: Plus if you werent so sweet ... lolz

Darn, I have them bugging me too.. Maybe I will try @TexanTornado 's remedy. I feel the same way too at times.. murderous when these thing fly at me.

They are no friends of mine! I hate those little buggers.. I'll bet there are traps could be found by googling.. I have to remember that next time I get a plague of them.. ...hmmm, I see now there are lots of good ideas right here!

Another tip just to help if you rinse your fruit, put some baking soda in the drain and slowly pour apple cider vinegar on it. I't clean your drain and lesson the flies.... do this with some of the other ideas below and you should be good to go.

I have an ant strip that catches a lot ofthem, but the ones that won't land on it, land on me. By the time I think about grabbing the fly swatter, it flies away, but comes back again like a boomerang.

They are friendly, maybe too friendly. Once you take the food away they disappear and think they only live for a day or something like that. Poor fruit fly.

Nobody loves the buzzing sound of flies but we should not hate them because they do what they have been allowed to do like other creatures. We are also a creature like flies. Thanks.

I usually find the flies appear when some of the fruit is getting old and I have not realised, so I check and wash it. Life would be a lot simpler if some things, like fruit flies didn't exist.

I have felt like this in the past few weeks as well. Summer brings on lots of flies here as well.

u can put it in a plastic bag and tie it up air tight. for remembrance put a sticky note on u refrigerator "eat fruits"...

I don't have a solution to get rid of them but when I leave fruit out now I cover it so the flies can't land on it. At least I know they haven't gotten to it while I am sleeping. Gpod Luck with getting rid of them,

I can't stand those either. I see them flying around at work sometime as they keep fruit out also. The only fruit I keep out is banana's the rest I keep in the fridge. I hope you can find a way to get rid of them

I hate all bugs. Especially flies. You can try fly paper. At least that might cut down the population of them. Otherwise you have to spend time swatting them.
