😏ils.
Open a can of BEER and cover with plastic wrap and it works better than the Dawn apple vinegar sugar!!!! Trust me!!!
Alpine WSG only will work only for fruit flies. Fruit flies are some what essy to erradicate. Its the Phorid aka Drain flies that are the real problem/challenge. They are the black eyed ones with hump back. Very few insecticeds kill them. For knockdown try a permethrin or pyrethroid based product. But thats not fixing the problem at source. You have to find an eliminate the funk they are eating. Could be anywhere like inside drain, outside trashcan needs emptied and cleaned, hampster cage beeding needs changed. Pretty much any funk mixed with moisture is what they like. Fix the nasty source whateber it is and then after a week they will be all gone. Keep places dry and clean – thats it, altough easier said then done, espeacially if you have a plumbing leak underground. Its a nightmare and my most difficult pest to eliminate. Yeah im a bug man, pretty good if i say so. Again its the Phorid flies. Fix, Clean, clean, clean is how to fix long term not spraying anything. May need a enzyme remover to eat scum deep down drains (bleach & hot water will not work) I recommend a product call Forid drain cleaner, or a great plumber. Fly lights dont work for Phorid flies either. They like the dark. Prefer to crawl over fly. Its a fruit fly on roids, lol. Good luck yall its a tough battle. Please shate if had any success with phorid flies and what worked. Huge problem. Find the larvae and eggs and your on your way to victory.
The only thing that works for me is those apples. I wish you could find the juice alone for refills. I hate having to keep buying apples/juices every week.
I used my car vacuum and it took me about 2 minutes and now they’re gone.
The problem is Drano and Liquid-Plumber are not good for any Plumbing pipes and any professional will tell you that. It eats away bit by bit at your plumbing and then you're going to be spending thousands of dollars once your sewer line needs to be replaced. I know cuz it happened to me. The only drains that I did not use those products on was the bathroom and the laundry room and the sewer line from that area of the house were fine when checked during the inspection but my kitchen Plumbing literally was chewed up and half gone under the cement slab. Cost over 10 grand to replace.
This fruit fly traps are a smart idea never were with
We had fruit fly problem that was driving us crazy. After months, we figured out the kitchen drain pipe, in the crawlspace was broken. So water and food was draining and festering down there. And the flies were coming through the broken pipe. Fixed the pipe and the fly problem.
I can't tell what these little black flying bugs are. They look like gnats but they aren't attracted to any vinegar concoction or fly trap. They also have made their way into the bathroom and bedrooms not just the kitchen and honestly they seem mostly attracted to people, like always hovering around us.
I live in an apartment and i started having issues with these amnoying fruit flies for about a week or so. I finally tried the vingar and soap thing and they falling for it, some of them are smart. Yes these things are annoying
I use a Kirby vacuum cleaner with the hose attached and spend an hour or more sucking in all those gnats I find on the cabinet doors and sink and fridge areas! Then I kick out my roommate for a week for not doing his job in keeping the kitchen clean!! 🤬🤬🤬
What worked for me is I poured some Apple Cider vinegar in a small Tupperware lid and it caught a ton of fruit flies!
I simply bought a bug zapper and placed it in my kitchen – I love to hear them get zapped lol – Problem solved
You can buy a drain cleaner that actually boils in the drain that will kill them.
They are so bad right now…all in my face lol
Where you buy it is expensive is it our responsibility if you live in apartment s
Why do go in my bed room
Take used water bottle. Cut in half. Take spout end and turn it upside down into the bottom half. Like a funnel. Pour apple cider vinegar, regular vinegar etc. add a drop of dish soap. Swirl gently. Let ferment. Reuses old plastics. You can also put these outside for flies. The stinkier the better. They love it. Those padlocks on the cabinets though.
My wife bought some Drain Defense, stored it right next to my protein and creatine, tastes a little off though…
You talk too much!!! Omg!!!
