Get rid off all vegetable garbage. They use it to feed themselves and to breed.
 
Use wire gauze.

Does anyone know how to get rid of fruit flies?  I know I could google it, but this way (ie asking all of you freaks) is much more fun.


Hold a scientific convention.  A scientist is little more than a hardcore sadist with a fetish for fruit flies in a white lab coat.

Some may call this offensive I call it the Appliance of Science

Take a shit at the bottom of the garden and leave  the flies to enjoy a banquet.Guaranteed to work !

Adding: this approach has recycling/fertilizing advantages too, so it is triply beneficial

get a bug zapper for your kitchen. Nothing more satisfying than that pop. Febreeze kills them in the air.

I've had the little buggers camp out in plower pots and got the advice to stick a cigarette butt in the soil. It worked!

Tobacco is a good choice, and if you want to go for a green and non toxic alternative, use citronella oil.  You can purchase green candles, or buy the essence and simply add to some dried flowers and dot them around the house, especially near food sources because they will keep away from the surrounding area.

Aha...I didn't thinkof the drains.  I'll try that since I've become really diligent about any food on the counters.


If the bleach works in the drains, then you probably ought to douche with it too. Don't want to overlook anyplace they may be hanging out.
