The tiny fruit fly

Nothing can be more annoying than Fruit Flies taking over you house. I discovered they were laying their eggs in and among the tomatoes in a bowl on the table. And now I have an abundance of them. I use the vinegar the method to capture them. They love to get stuck in my glass of wine at night so I have left them a little glass of wine. But the most satisfying way to get rid of these little buggers is the ZAPPER. It lights up and makes a good zappy noise when you score a hit.

Fruit flies can lay up to 500 eggs at a time — primarily in fermenting fruit or other decaying, sweet, organic material. 

 Fruit flies are mainly attracted to moist, fermenting fruits and vegetables. However, they are also drawn to things such as drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cans, trash bags, cleaning rags and mops. Essentially, they are drawn to food waste and moist environments. 

Fruit flies only feed on food surfaces, so the chance of ingesting these pests is close to zero. Contrary to popular myth, fruit flies live longer than 24 hours. Under good conditions, they can live up to 40-50 days.
