With the unexpected arrival of warm weather we seem to be plagued by
little flies (probably fruit flies) breeding inside the compost caddy.

We empty it regularly (every day or so) and wash it out but the flies are
there again very quickly.

I understand that the eggs arrive on fresh fruit and vegetables so there
will be a constant supply.

The only solution (wait for it) I've seen advocated is to build a fruit
fly trap from a jam jar with a bit of banana skin (because fruit flies
like a banana) and some cider vinegar as bait.

Blasting your future compost (or at least the Council's) with fly spray
seems non-green.

Any other sensible solutions?

Cheers
