Re: Conquering fruit flies - what worked for me

[Guest guest]

We take advantage of their attraction (the booch is bait). We periodically bring

in the vacuum cleaner and just put the nozzle up close to the top. The fruit

flies at first resist but as soon as they jump they are sucked up. You just

gotta be careful not to suck up the top cover. Pretty easy once you get the hang

of it. Sure, more flies will come later, but this method is clean and easy and

keeps the numbers at an acceptable low number. - Woody

Isn't that just a normal choice for a breathable covering for a booch jar? How

does that keep fruit flies from being attracted to booch? I have tried

handkerchiefs, tea towels and cloth napkins. The flies can still smell the booch

and sit on the covering.
