threadders Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi all Over the last few days our flat has been inundated with in think is fruit flies. Has anyone else been having this problem ? I know it could be something to do with this Indian summer but does anyone know how to prevent / get rid of them ?Jon Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49867-fruit-flies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help-Ma-Boab Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I had em. Google fruit fly trap. I set one and it was surprising effective. Bowl, clingfilm, OJ. BOOM..

Alan Medic Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 We had them a while back. They like red wine. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49867-fruit-flies/#findComment-786982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 99% if the time there will be something in your house attracting them. I had some last week and couldn't work it out, then found a banana with a split in the skin in the fruit bowl. I've also had them hanging around an onion, so they're indiscriminate in terms of food source!

PeckhamRose Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Inside a small bowl, put lemon or some citrus juice and a piece of apple, and cover in cling film, then pierce the whole with several holes big enough for fruit flies to get in. They will do so. They won't get out. We did about three of these and each morning there were hundreds in there and two days later - zilch. I got this by googling something like how the hell do I get rid of hundreds of fruit flies!
