Pete Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Man these things have been a nuisance over the years. The cider vinegar, dash dishsoap, in a jar with plastic wrap with holes works ok. But my question is proactive. Is there anything I can do- ie spray fruit with vinegar, store fruit in fridge, etc- that can prevent fruit flies to begin with? I am nervous to bring fruit in, after finally ridding myself of the the fruit flies for the 10th time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Wash your produce (especially bananas) as soon as you get home. The fridge is a good idea, I place a paper towel over things that are left out (peaches for example, they just ripen better out of the fridge). http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf/Pest_Control/Flies/Preventing-Fruit-Flies.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Never had them. We get them in our crusty bodyshop though. Usually from old fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wine is fruit, right? Most all fruits can be fermented. And if you want then distilled for some real firewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
