RE: Fruit flies with wings

["David Lains" <david at zfin_org>]

Make a trap.  Cut the neck off of a soda bottle and invert in in to a jar
that has salsa or banana with a little yeast on it.  The flies go in but
can't get back out.  When it is full put it in the freezer for an hour and
it is ready for use again.  The bait should be changed before it gets to
nasty.

><{{{>Hi to all:
><{{{>
><{{{>Here's a challenge. How can I get rid of winged fruit flies
><{{{>in my kitchen
><{{{>and downstairs in my killie room? I've had them all winter
><{{{>and can't seem
><{{{>to get rid of them. In the kitchen we've covered up the fruit
><{{{>and after
><{{{>food preparation we immediatley dump the scraps in the
><{{{>garbage can. We try
><{{{>to keep everything clean.
><{{{>
><{{{>I've seen larve in my microworm culture tubs and have since
><{{{>sealed them up.
><{{{>To do this I've cut a quarter size hole in the lids and plug
><{{{>up the hole
><{{{>with those sponge plugs you get from Carolina Biological
><{{{>Supply with the
><{{{>fruit fly culture vials. That seems to have an effect,
><{{{>however, I still
><{{{>have flys.
><{{{>
><{{{>Any help you can give will be much appreciated, especially by
><{{{>the Mrs. At
><{{{>first she thought I was raising them for the Killies. She
><{{{>became irate and
><{{{>I almost lost the fishroom. That would be a disaster! Please
><{{{>help - soon.
