It is my basket of onions, long neglected since I haven't cooked anything meaningful in ages. Daily I grab my electrified tennis raquet thingy and wage war, and they kept coming. So icky. I really hate them. There hasn't been anything out, not even a speck of anything in the sink strainer. Been thinking that maybe they like the catfood, but then I was rearranging the winerack and the basket of dried herbs, under that basket is the onion basket. Egads! So hopefully after I kill all these guys I will be done. Or I am going to move.... Or zap myself with the tennis racquet thingy!

 
Put bowls of vinegar out and add a few drops of dish detergent to it. They will flock there, drown

and not bother you.

 
Hi Heather; check out post 8327 or search FK for fruit flies. I had the same problem last year

I would link you the post, but for some reason, I keep getting the aw shucks shrimp cocktail....(Which I highly recomend...But will not help w/ your flies!)

Good Luck!!

 
Heather, i just had a bout with those nasty little critters.

The best thing I found was to put out jars of cider vinegar and a couple jars or glasses of red wine (maybe any kind of wine, but I had a merlot) in a couple of different places, and they were gone within two days. I hate those things.

 
It seems to be working, my kill ratio is declining! I'm like the navy seals squad for fruit flies..

hee hee

Once I removed their onioney home they had no where to go but to their next life cycle....

stupid flies....

Thanks for the support and good advice!
