FRUIT FLIES

Those little critters are everywhere.

Tell her to pour Clorox down her garbage disposal and sink. Also clean the rubber around the garbage disposal.

They like heat. If she has a flattop stove, pulse Windex under the edge of the flattop to flush any out.

Fruit flies hide in grouting. Regrout the sink, and wash windows. They love to breed on glass. Windex kills them.

Raid Flea, Carpet & Room in the purple can is the only commercial chemical spray I founds that shows the insect and eggs after you spray it on a surface.

Laptops house insects. I sprayed mine with Raid and got rid of them.

A steamer kills them too.

Thanks for that info, s&s.....

I’ve been putting out alcohol for them and wondering why they are proliferating.

I had them in the bathroom, so I filled the sink half full and dumped a pile of Mr. Clean in there overnight - seems to have helped.

I’m going to do the bleach and Mr. Clean thing tonight with the kitchen sinks.

I have never seen this before! In all my years, I’ve never had such a persistent visitation of fruit flies. Is it because they feel emboldened with the 2SLGBTQ thing?
