Fruit flies...
 
1 Attachment(s)
My house was full of them recently.

Took a wide topped glass and put a bit of red wine in it. Covered the top with plastic wrap. Punched a small hole in the center of the wrap. They can get in, but can't get out...All gone in 24 hrs.

We've had a lot of fruit flies this summer, and there were a ton at Heath Market yesterday--is this a thing? Anyone know why?

Probably tagging along with the recent influx of presidential candidates. They are of the same ilk! :laugh:

Psalm 78:25

"He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them, And frogs, which destroyed them."

Another good trick is to fill a glass with apple cider vinegar and then add a few drops of dish soap. That catches them well too.

True but a more true description would be fruit loops.

Hope it wasn't Opus 1 or Silver Oak.....Walmart carries a $3 red especially for fruit flies

The visiting flies may enjoy a nice sangria. 🍷
