If you want to kill the fruit flies quickly try to put out a bowl of vinegar, some sugar and a little bit of dish soap. I found this to be super effective.

The sugar and vinegar kinda mimics the scent of rotten fruit which they are drawn too and the dish soap will destroy the surface tension, so that they just drown.

I've tried that and found that they will drown even without the dish soap, but the problem for me is getting them to go for the liquid instead of just hanging out all around it.

Maybe remove all the little lounge chairs and add a little diving board?

Put some cling wrap or what's it called on top too, make small holes in it, makes it more effective in my experience

[–] unclejeeves@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Similar concept, we use a mason jar with holes poked in the lid and apple cider vinegar inside.

We've had good luck with plugin traps using glue surfaces

Me literally every time I'm reminded that what I throw in the garbage isn't instantly teleported out of the house.

People have mixed feelings but having just moved to a place with a disposal unit this year has made trash accumulation so much easier. Never realized how much foodstuffs I would throw in the trash.

I just DIY it in my oven.

In all my years of viewing memes, I've never seen a Trojan horse facing the left side of the image

You got mad pattern recognition skills

Probably because Troy was to the east of Greece.

I will wash my banana when I get it home. It's always crawling with pests. One day I will tire of this and then no more banana.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you always dirty your banana when you go out?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 13 points 2 years ago

It's always getting into holes and hanging with the wrong bunch.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've never heard of someone washing their bananas. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc I've heard but never bananas

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

Yes you should. I was washing mine because of all the fungicide they are coated in while growing, but then I learned from someone on reddit one day that it will clear the fruit fly eggs that are typically around the bud end. You should wash every fruit or vegetable you buy at the store first before eating.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I keep them in a bag that’s tied off until I can wash them, but try to wash them as quickly as possible. The bag can also be a useful way to get the bananas to ripen faster if they’re too green.

This except a Brazilian spider that gives painful erections.

[–] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah I'm never buying bananas again

[–] ivanovsky@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me, on the other hand, will buy even more bananas.

Pain for pleasure?

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 years ago

I still don't know which horse mine rode in with, but there's not much I haven't thrown out yet 😐

Just one Pepsi.
