Off Topic: Fruit flies and bananas suggestion

[Guest guest]

Hello all, As many of you know, there are an abundance

of fruit flies with bananas. I have a suggestion that

works for me. I take the banana peel (after using the

banana) and place it in a disposable plastic container

with the lid slightly off to the side. In a few hours

I quickly snap the lid on and the flies are trapped

inside. I then toss the container. I do this as many

times as is necessary to rid my kitchen of those pesky

flies. If the lid doesn't snap on quickly, and the

flies escape, just do it again until they are all

inside. You can either throw out the container, or let

the flies go outside.

I hope this was helpful.

fresh basil in the bowl with the bananas keeps the fruit flies away, too.

Here is one more idea for anyone having a fruit fly problem. Just twice in my

adult life, I've had to really do battle to get rid of fruit flies and I did

what my mom had done once when I was young. I squirted some dish soap into a

big bowl with a cup of vinegar and then filled the bowls with tap water. I sat

the 2 of these bowls in 2 different spots in my kitchen and once or twice a day

emptied them and replaced the sudsy mixture until the problem came under

control. The vinegar attracks the fruit flies and the suds trap them.
