fruit fly/nat thingys

Eat the peaches.

Skin so Soft bath oil?

According to one thread that sheet is better than nuclear fission! :roll:

you know that fly around your overripe peaches etc! I read somewhere if you had a 1/2 cup of something it got rid of them. Does anyone remember or know a solution?

I am almost positive it's apple cider vinegar. You put in a jar with holes in the lid.

I don't have fruit flies, but I have these little moths that were trying to set up camp in my pantry stuff. I cleaned out all the pantry stuff and put it in zip locks, but I'm still seeing the little moths flying around. Any suggestions for these? Sorry for hijacking cp.

Moth or cedar balls/sachets.

ok,I'm goin to try the vinager thanks!
No problem DD

we had this same problem. we actually bought "fly paper" ( the thingys that hang down) and hung them in the pantry and that didi the trick. i am almost certain we found them at wal-mart......the fly thingys, not the moths.

You rock, gttbm. I'm on my way to get some on the way home! They're definitely down in numbers, but there's still some flying around. Little bat turds. :angry:

We've had them twice. FBB probably wishes we'd have them again, so I would clean and organize our pantry. I think he's a much better cleaner organizer. If he didn't have to own every small kitchen appliance and gadget ever invented, I'd have more room.

I hear ya. Actually, I cleaned almost everything out so I can honestly say at the moment, "the cupboard is bare".

My Mom just had quite the infestation with fruit flies!!! Vinegar works well. Also, clean out the drains of your kitchen sink (like with actual drain cleaner)----this is where they breed. Good Luck!!

Nope only went there for the fly things.

Yeah,....1/2 cup of DDT will do the trick.

Check any organic rice/grain products from California. I had some organic rice that was infested with something that bread inot little white flying moths. They took over all the grains in my pantry, including eating all my spagetti. Good news is, they added a very unique flavor to all my cooking!

for fruit flies...I read that a mixture of apple cider vinegar with a small amount of liquid soap would do them in. The explanation was that the fruit flies will be drawn to the smell of the apple cider vinegar and when they go to sip some will bet stuck in the liquid saop. I tried it but evidently my fruit flies had not read the same article.

Along those lines would honey or molasses work?

Don't know about the honey or molasses, seems to me like it'd work...but I know the soap thing works when you do it at night. Put a pan/cookie sheet of water and dish soap under a light at night, and in the morning you'll have a fruit fly grave yard! I think the soap I used was 'citrus' scented, so it may have had the fragrance appeal of the vinegar...either way, it worked for me.
Had the moth problem before too...we had cleared out everything three times and they kept coming back...we finally had to bug-bomb the house ...that took care of them!!:boxing:

I bought the sticky strip thingys that gttbm mentioned. We'll see.

I'm standing firm. Just glanced on the one we hung 3 years ago. Apparently, it was a warning to the little boogers. Haven't had once since.

They evidently work on exes too. None of those showed up either. ;-):funn:

Nothing sticking to the strips yet. Will report back.
