Are those tiny fruit flies dancing around the kitchen driving you crazy? It could be their last night with you if you do this :
- Take a bowl (a glass one is better for the view)
- Pour some fruit juice or alcohol like beer or sweet liquor (you know the one you have since so many years in the cupboard but never wanted to throw in the sink ?)! Use just enough liquid (1 to 2 cm -1/2 inch) so it looks like an attractive swimming pool for flies
- Cover the bowl with a plastic film perfectly stretched and tightly sticking to the outside of the bowl (use a rubber band to secure it in place if the film is not a very stretching one)
- Use a tooth pick (round one is perfect) or the tip of a fork to make a dozen of holes in the middle of the plastic film (it will make a nice drummy sound );
- Let the bowl on the countertop and look for the party pool to start

IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to remove the signs
« There is no lifeguard down there »
« Alcohol and swimming don’t get along »
« Past this film there is no guarantee you come back »
In one or two days, you will be the only one to dance in the kitchen.
Time to fly!

STOPThose damn things drive me Crazy. I moved a bunch of Bananas in the Fruit bowl and a huge plague of them swarmed out !!
Hi Stormuk69,
Thank you for your reply! Did you try the fly trap? Can be fun to set it with the help of kids ! Feel free to let me know if you do .
I like your wide-ranged posts! Have a nice day!
It wasn't the Bananas in the end it was the tub of Peaches. They had rotted on the bottom. Fresh from the store as well. I'm sure they must lay eggs in the Fruit and then it hatches as they appeared from nowhere !! We don't tend to get them in the UK very often.
These flies are necessary for ripening fruit! There are several on the barrels of must to make wine. But we are not fruits.
A great post! And a great sense of humor too!
Loved it!
