Ok so for some d**n reason (I blame Walmart) I have a TON of fruit flies that I cannot get rid of. I've tried the vinegar-all it does is make my kitchen stink. So if I set off a bug bomb-will that kill the fruit flies? I dont have any fruit or vegetables of any kind of food out.

  1. I had the same problem this summer and I got a margarine container(empty) and but a banana peel in it added a bit of  1/4 water and dish soap

    covered the container with plastic wrap as tight as I could get it with elastic band around to hold plastic then I poked a few holes in plastic with fork not too big just big enough for the buggers to get in but not out wow couldnt believe how many i trapped.I also used a sticky glue board used for rodents from the bug guy who sprays the building I live in and that caught tons too Good luck.


  2. A fogger will work, but first try this. Make a mixture of bleach and water. More often than not, the fruit flies are in the drain of your sinks! Pour the mixture into the OVERFLOW drain, not the drain at the bottom. Do it until you no longer see them. It does work. ONLY USE PESTICIDES AS A LAST RESORT!!!

  3. Yes, it should work fine.

  4. Fruit fly's adapt to bug sprays. They do love beer as any bartender would tell you and one thing that I tried a while back was put some beer in a container, put a clear plastic wrap over top. Use an elastic band to seal the edge and poke many holes in the top with a fork big enough for them to get in. With the way the holes form inward, they cannot get out and they drown or suffocate.

  5. yes it will work no problem
