Even as we speak I see a gnat flying in front of me trying to piss me off. So about 2 weeks ago I noties a Gnat....then the next day a couple Gnats. And then a swarm. I took all my plants outside and looked in every crack for a rotten banana....to no avail nothing. Than two days ago I found a bag of potatoes that have been hiddin way back in my pantry. That was the culprit but I still have some. I have clean with Bleach, vinger and now I will try soap water. They are so annoying. Just wanted to share my frustration and happiness that I have found info on how to kill the little buggers. ~dee So I have just encountered this problem.

I seem to get fruit flies every summer with all the pretty fresh fruit sitting out on the counter. I learned to make a trap by taking a jar, putting something vinegary or fruity in the bottom, and either punching some small holes in the lid or else putting a paper cone, point with a small hole down in the jar, to catch them. The dumb things can't figure how to get back out. Also, I've found cantaloupes are the WORST for attracting fruit flies, so I only buy ripe ones and put them straight in the fridge.
