They suggest DDT or using a fan.
What kind of traps are
Hi last year I put a mixture of cider vinegar,water,and a coupla drops of dish soap in a wide shallow bowl....because the soap breaks the surface tension of the water the flys land and immediately sink and drown...ignore their crys for help and you'll catch dozens a day depending on the extent of the infestation....andy j.
I started reading that and thought "that would never ferment" :-)
Forget about the insecticide sprays you buy, even the ones that say they are for fruit flies. They doe absolutely nothing.
