Another fruit fly question. (Please read specifics!)

Asked by evegrimm (3714points) October 22nd, 2009

So I have fruit flies.

I’ve done what others have suggested—removing old fruit, putting good fruit in fridge, taking out trash, etc.

Unfortunately, they’re still here. (It’s only been a day or so.)

Any ideas for how to get them from bombarding me while I EAT??? (Can you tell it’s bothering me?)

I put out a fruit juice trap (juice + oil in a bowl covered with plastic wrap with holes poked in it), but nothing yet. They seem more interested in my bathroom (dirty laundry? yummy coconut body wash?), bedroom and basically, anything that isn’t the trap.

How long will I need to put up with them before they start dying off?
