Breakthrough in the war on fruit flies.

[trof]

Came home from two weeks away to a kitchen full of fruit flies.
Bother.

Miz t. put out a bowl of vinegar, the home remedy handed down from her granny.

Checked in a while later and only two of the little buggers were in it, the rest still merrily airborne.

Fixed myself a Scotch & soda and sat down at the bar, watching the news and chatting with Miz t.

In a few minutes I noticed the flock was now all buzzing around (and in) my drink.
hmmm...

I poured a half jigger of Scotch and sat it on the bar. In a half hour or so it was full of drunken/drowned fruit flies.

Just thought I'd pass that along.

1. I probably should have posted this in LBN.

Maybe a mod can transfer it?

2. I must try that on the olive fly...

Although I may have to use Gin for obvious reasons. Them pesky olive flies moved in five years ago and killed my shade tree olive oil business.

3. Those aren't fruit flies

They are matcom's robotic scotch scouts - expect a knock on the door any minute

4. The bastid!

The sneaky, sneaky bastid!
