apart from traps, i find using a lighter works, as they dont move until its tool late and you half burnt the thing to death

Add a can of starting fluid and you have a home made fruit fly flame thrower.

Tea Tree Oil will get rid of them. Just put a tiny bit in some water and let it sit in the sun with you and the insects will leg it.

Use bleach and warm water, whipe every surface of your home where food is. Keep screens over your windows.

I've seen the little bastards get through screens, you need really fine ones to stop them because they land on them then crawl through.

Witnessed it.

Get an old banana peel, put it in the bottom of a cup, grab some plastic, paper, anything to cover the top of an old can, put the plastic over the top of the can and tie it to the can with something, poke holes into it. Let those bastards fly in. They're too stupid to go through the holes to get out

They can check in, but they can't check out.

I think hell has officially frozen over...there is a discussion on BHW about fruit flies!

dicks are back - no idea where they 'appear' from place is new, spotless, and i even closed vents into the apartment, seems impossible to workout. Like yesterday i had a few appear, i mullered them and they seemed to send in more reinforcements like tie-fighters. its not logical. Reinforcements appeared within seconds, I was like WTF. Managed to chef torch a couple of them, and turn them into walking wounded's which i kept as pets to torture for a bit.

My wife had some success with the vinegar trick to kill them. Then she put out a little dish or bowl of wine and those little bastards couldn't jump in fast enough. Works like a charm.

Wine in a bowl or glass works really well.
