How to battle Fruit Flies
    #4786658 - 10/11/05 09:25 AM (19 years, 3 months ago)

Using the bulk Neglec-tek, I've noticed that, for one, when the boxes are done fruiting, of course they are dried up a little, and attract fruit flies. Well, I recently realized that if one box in my apartment is bad, old, or failed, any others within proximity get destroyed because these little fuckers just take over. It ruined what were scheduled to be about 10 good strong boxes, but the flies just got to them first. Besides air-tight containers, does anyone have any clue how to battle the devastation caused by fruit flies? Please help. A chemical repellant, or something similar that could be added to the dung/straw mix would be ideal, but i'm open for ideas. . . Thanks~

PS. For now, I have no boxes going, due to the event, so possibly, just having a good few week period where there are no boxes, and bomb the apartment with smoke, may suffice to give me a good window in the future, but what a pain. .

I am/was in the same boat as you. All the info I have found was do what you did and maybe put some of those fly strips around your boxes next time. Also, things like an almost empty apple cider bottle left open will attract them and they will drown. I would also like some more suggestions.
