Lynne's somewhat invented life: THEY'RE B-A-A-CK

THEY'RE B-A-A-CK

The fruit flies. Driving me nuts. I peel the cucumber, they come. I chop the tomato, they come. I stem the strawberry, they come and come and come.

At 8:15 I put out the trap:

2 Tbs. water

2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar

A few drops liquid dish detergent

Aha! At 10:00 I had victims.

Revenge is mine.

That doesn't look like water, vinegar and dish soap in that glass.; Wed Jul 29, 08:02:00 AM 2009
Bonnie said...: Thanks for the recipe, but I haven't seen any fruit flies either. Could it be that I haven't bought much fruit this year and there is none growing in my yard either--sad to say.; Thu Jul 30, 01:40:00 AM 2009
