Help a Girl Out...

I'm enlisting your help. I am preparing my posts for while I'm away (for a week) next month, and one of the ideas I have is a list of FAQ. I have compiled several questions I am asked on a regular basis, and wanted to know the burning questions on your minds.

What would you like included for my upcoming FAQ post? Let 'em rip!

Fruit Flies, Help!!!

Okay, I love Costco, but I wasn't counting on a bunch of new pets when I bought that pineapple! We have purchased the fruit fly traps online in the past ($24!!!) so we decided to try out some of the ideas for homemade traps. It's surprisingly simple, and looks like this:



You will need:

a small jar(baby food size)

a bit of fruit(chunk of banana)

plastic wrap.

Place the fruit in the jar and cover tightly with plastic wrap. With a sharpened pencil poke 3-4 tiny holes in the plastic, just big enough for a fruit fly. Place it on your counter and watch it with morbid fascination as it fills up. Take it outside to empty it out every few days and start over. (the flies can squeeze down through the hole, but can't crawl back through the jagged edges of the holes)
