That's the only reason I ever have fruit flies, lol

Really.

The fun one is that they can live off of balsamic and some rice vinegars, but in my experience won't touch honey. So much for that saying.

Fruit flys are attracted to red wine and vinger so leave a few dishes around also vingear down all your drains in your house

Kill it with fire ?

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

sticky paper all the way :P

Apple cider vinegar, or some regular vinegar perhaps, a little bit of water and some drops of soap. Apparently they can't swim too well.

Also, I've heard fruit flies like to hang out in dirt until something attracts them. Don't know if you have any potted plants in your house or not.

Give them some bud light, then they will get so insulted that they leave and never return.

If you were in Korea, you could give them OB Light! Imagine Bud Lite, but even worse tasting and more watered down!

>.> Fruit flies do suck. You should totally kill them.

Just try not to laugh at them when they run into the walls and wear lampshades on their wee little heads! And don't even get me started about all those calories... overweight fruitflys...ewww }:=)

ROTFLMAO

XD

Take trash out every couple days, rinse beer bottles/cans before putting them in the recycling, don't leave dishes in the sink. How we got rid of them :P

This.

yes I have found this out, it is a pain.

Damn I hate fruit flies.

they can easily live off of beer. Vodka tough, kills them in seconds.

lolz

It's not beer so much as the moisture. All you have to do is clear out anything that stagnates or decomposes for three days or so. Then they'll be gone. If they keep coming back it's possible they're coming from outside.

But now for ANOTHER interesting fact: Fruit flies produce the world's largest sperm cells.

That is interesting.

Throw away any old sponges/dish rags, they breed in them

Put some fruit in a bowl, cover bowl with saran wrap, poke minuscule holes with just the tip of a fork or toothpick. They can get in, but they find it VERY hard to get out.

Kill them with laser vision. Surgical. Precise. Problem gone.

Easy.

Fruit flies love anything with a lot of sugar in it.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a beer. wait, what?

omg im having the same problem x3

Sorry, but that's hilarious.

The paper things that hang from the ceiling actually work as long as you keep food (and apparently beer) from their greedy little buggy reach.

maybe rinse out your bottles

not that hard

o..o AWESOME. X3

When we got drosophila over infestation at bio labs, fly paper works great~

Yes, when you breed fruit flys you breed them on a yeast like paste . I did this in Biology class in Highscool. We did it for a genetics and heredity experiment. Like one of the posters said above to get rid of them you need to keep every thing dry. They are correct about the drains too. However when I worked at pretzel shop (Where we used yeast regularly) We had to dump a small amount of bleach down our drains. that gets rid of them.

Peacefully co-exist

o.0 I'll just leave it to the experts. o.0

Posion the beer o-o wait.....dont do that.....you might drink it x.x

red wine or apple cider vinegar with a small amount dish soap mixed in does the trick every time!

One way that we got rid of our infestation is actually really cheep to do. You don't need to buy anythign really and it actually works. You need a paper bag and a fruit of some kind. Put the fruit in the bag and leave it open about an inch. They go in and for some reason don't come back out. THen a day later close the bag really quickly then take it outside.. You can let it sit out there for a few hours or just dump it. You can use the bag again but throw the fruit out cause they tend to lay their egss in the fruit.

It keeps the flies in the bag and outta your house, plus it gets rid of them after a few days. :3

Ahahaha!!!!

*ahem*
I mean that totally blows :(

You're screwed.

You have two options:

Drink really strong spirits instead of beer.
Become non alcoholic.

How the heck do they survive in my basement then? There's nothing down here but non-edibles.

Time flies when you're having fun. And fruit flies like a banana.

"Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" -G. Marx

But arrows aren't always fun. So time flies when you're having fun is much better than Mr. Marx.

OK. Steps to fixing this.

1. Fill a disposable cup with Honey.
2. Cover cup with plastic wrap
3. Poke a hole about a half inch in diameter in the center of the top.
4. Wait for the little bastards to die (they will fly into the honey and get stuck)
5. Dispose and repeat as needed!

When I was younger, I poured a bit of vinegar in a dish and put honey around the edge. They'd land to get at the vinegar and get stuck in the honey and die.

Haha. I learned that running my bar in Germany. Those things love the weizen biers. ....I hope I spelled those right.
