I've got hundreds of these fuckers all up in my pad. My roommate is too much of a retard to take decaying trash out to the dumpster so they're always all up in my trashcan and then they terrorize the rest of the apartment.

One of those fuckers just flew up my nose. It ends today.

Pro-tips on killing fruit flies? Fogging is out. I'm paranoid about poisonous chemicals and I don't want my cat getting sick from that shit

inb4 prevention derp. Motherfucker I said kill not prevent.

inb4 take out the trash. No shit. I did this morning.
 


take a water bottle cut the top off and put it back inside the bottle (should look like a funnel) and then tape the edges. Poor a little vinegar in the bottom and wait a day or 2 and say bye bye.

vinegar and dish soap in a cup catches some.

Here in seattle we have a compost trash can separate from the trash and recycling and it's fucking insane if you try to throw something in it as they only empty it every other week.

This.
Sometimes it's better to add some applejuice if the vinegar is too sour. Beer works as well. Had these fuckers all over the house last summer.

BTW......if you use the homemade version with the water bottle.......I'd suggest using a piece of a Banana Peel for the bait in the bottom. Those damn fruit flies and gnats seem to just LOVE old fucking banana peels!!!

I've read vinegar in a few places. What's up with the dish soap? Does that attract, kill, or both?

what's the point of the funnel though? Can't he just pour a little vinegar in a glass?
 
The vinegar bottle is a good tip.

Make sure your drains are sparkling clean, pour some bleach in them, scrub them, etc.

Thats where they breed.

I used to work in restaurants and we would occasionally get these and it was always the drains.

This. Bleach is the key. Remove all trash, bottles etc and also bleach your garbage cans and recycling bins. Clean everything in your kitchen down with a bleach based cleaner, and pour bleach down your drains.

Dispose of anything that has food on it that's laying around, say like stray pizza boxes. Clean all your dishes.

Once your shit is clean you should rapidly see improvement because they won't hang around if there's nothing for them to consume.

PS. Beat your roommates ass.
