Default How to get rid of fruit flies all over my kitchen

Throwing out the entire set, we *still* have fruitflies.



We found some infesting a potato, of all things.

But, we still have fruit flies.



It has been about 3 days since we found the grapfruit, and 2 days since

we found the potatoes.



What would you suggest to kill the hundreds of fruit flies flying about?


I use a 2 litre pop bottle. A mixture of fruit juice and diluted white vinegar lures them into the jar and most die there. Also when a number are flying or crawling inside the bottle, I grab it and covering the top, give it a shake or two.

Eventually they will disappear if there is no new source of food available. Keep all meat trays clean before disposal in garbage bags and keep empty pop containers in sealed recycled bin.

Have had previous infestations so have had some experience with the pests.
