that's different, I put a glass of vinegar on the shelf and they jump in and die , mind you, it does take time ;D

I am going to try both - we seem to be plagued with them, daughter bought some nectarines and one was already on the turn and had some flies in it while I was away and she didn't notice so we now have lots of them so thank you, I hope it works  ;) :)

Qatahn has reminded me of school when I had to raise fruitflies for genetics class. had to carry around a test tube with them growing on some fruit and was horrified how fast the rascals reproduced.

 Looks as though my Listerine worked as I have no fruit flies in the kitchen today.

In the thro's of making Branston pickle, think I will leave till tomorrow. ;-(((
  preparing  some of the veggies is like a magnet to Yale the dog , he loves veggies, ;-))))
