I went to a local farm to buy produce. Everything I got was great, and super affordable. All of this for $8.75!!! I will buy my produce there for the rest of the season, for sure.
But there were fruit flies like crazy all over their stuff. I made sure to shoo them all off before putting them in my bag, and then I tied the bag shut, came home and soaked everything. Must have miss some because we are being over run with fruit flies.
It has become a game with the kids and I. My oldest son calls it spanking them. I say that I’m a fruit fly ninja! But there are only so many I can get by sneaking up and smacking them. So we set some traps, and they have worked wonderfully. So, just in case you were wondering, here is how to become fruit fly ninja too:
Fill a plastic cup with a little apple cider vinegar, a little red wine vinegar, and maybe a string off a banana peel if you have one. Cover it with plastic wrap and cut small holes in the top. Set it out and watch them flock to it. It’s disgusting but we have over 25 dead ones in our trap right now.
Please note, this works better if you don’t have little boys constantly wanting to check it out and scaring off the ones getting ready to go inside the trap. Oh well. Here’s my little ninja:
