Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 This time of year fruit fries are especially bad in Oregon and Washington. I have an onslaught of them right now, and they are building forces. lol What I am doing is also using lemon oil, but adding some cypress essential oil and rosemary essential to the mixture. Another bonus, kills alot of the bacteria/viral/mite stuff in the air too. Summer Jim & Jennie jlessard@...> wrote: Lemon is suppose to repel bugs.

It seems they really like the fresh, preservative-free foods. Jenn&Kali 95% SCD 5 months Fruit flies > > I remember there being some posts about how to deal > with fruit flies.
