I'M ABOUT TO GO BALLISTIC WITH THESE FRUIT FLIES

submitted by Zyklonbeekeeper to HDLunited 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 22:59:00 ago (+13/-0)     (HDLunited)

I have never seen it this bad. Fucking fruit flies are bad this year.

Anyone else having issues with these pesky little beasts?

And the fuckers do bite

I had the same problem. I got rid of these by not leaving food around and keeping the trash outside the kitchen for a while. Without food they will just die asap.

Fruit flies like a banana.

I thought you had an issue with fruit fly in the garden in which case I would have said netting is the best solution.

I think you're just homesick and the flies are getting on your nerves.

[ - ] Rowdybme 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 05:23:44 ago (+0/-0)

Never had any issues with them ever in my life. Until the past few years. Satan is called the lord of the flies. Best way to get rid of them is to leave a little cup of wine on the counter.

Do fruit flies really bite in America?

[ - ] namefagsrgay 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 15:56:11 ago (+0/-0)

No. You've got those nigger plant flies. They do take little nibbles. I've had really bad fruit flies, but only when I lived in an apartment and had shitskin scum living near me.

[ - ] Prairie 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:50:59 ago (+1/-0)

Banana peel in bag. Close bag. Take outside.

Those electric fly swatters also zap the fuck out of a cloud of them, though you'll never get enough to make a dent.

Clean your fucking house, bro.

@Nosferatjew...I'm a clean freak, I don't know where these fucking things are coming from

featherduster and vacuum, the feather duster traps them and you send them into the vacuum

Just gnats around the veggie scrap container by the sink for the worm bin. Haven't seen a mosquito outside yet this summer.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 4 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:33:21 ago (+4/-0)

Well, eff you! Come up here to Sutter county and I got some mosquitos for ya!🤣

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:43:02 ago (+2/-0)

I'll pass. Used to have around 5 mosquitoes per cubic foot in PA, around dusk. The woods back behind were wet, and apparently the perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes.

Ah, anywhere that receives summer precipitation and has any sort of foliage.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 10:44:46 ago (+0/-0)

Rain is next expected in October or November. The foliage is rather dry, and the hillsides have been characterized as 'golden'. Basically brown, but I think they were trying to upscale a bit and played off of that whole 'gold rush' event. Golden hills sounds better than 'the grasses have died of thirst'.

The Golden State

What great marketing for "rain, six months of dry, then fire".

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 11:30:12 ago (+0/-0)

The fog beside the ocean discourages fire, but there are a lot of inlanders who've apparently never given it a thought.

I'm staying in an RV for a few months while working Toronto and go home on weekends...I don't leave open fruit or veggies other than bulbs of garlic in the cooking area and garbage can is outside...it does not make sense to have all these fucking flies, and they're everywhere

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 0 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:34:41 ago (+0/-0)

They’ll probably die off in a day or two.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:39:38 ago (+0/-0)

Fruit flies are mainly attracted to extra ripe, fermenting fruits and vegetables. However, they are also drawn to things such as drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cans, trash bags, cleaning rags and mops. Essentially, they are drawn to food waste and moist environments.

Gotta do a through clean on the RV with a bleach solution. If you keep your windows closed, condensation from your breath at night might make the humidity attractive.

[ - ] jfroybees 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 01:58:50 ago (+0/-0)

I forgot where I lived in which covering the drains at night was prudent for a period of time during the year.

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 3 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:25:40 ago (+3/-0)

I think its getting colder and wetter, despite popular opinion.

[ - ] bobdole9 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 09:04:31 ago (+0/-0)

Didn't you guys just have 100F temps recently?

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 11:09:56 ago (+0/-0)

Just like every year.

[ - ] bobdole9 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 11:16:40 ago (+0/-0)

Eight months of winter, four months of boiling? Lame.

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 11:27:56 ago (+0/-0)

It used to keep the city people away til recently. Its not so bad.

Have you tried burning your house down? That ought to kill those rascals

How does a fruit fly?
Just anchor your fruit

Better than you, gramps

You must have some sort of a "sweet spoilage" somewhere nearby.

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper [op] 3 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:32:34 ago (+3/-0)

The fucking place is clean of open food and fruit, that's what I can't figure out.
Could it be because of the high concentration of niggers and shitskins down here?

[ - ] xmasskull 4 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:22:12 ago (+4/-0)

In that case,a used pair of sheboon painties are the culprit.

[ - ] Ragnar 2 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:24:49 ago (+2/-0)

I thought you only had black bears there

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper [op] 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 05:15:57 ago (+1/-0)

My black bears are 500miles back home in Northern Ontario, I'm doing 4dsys a week in Toronto leasing my services to a crane rental company and staying in an RV, and it's here in the RV that I've got all of these fucking fruit flies...I'm going to set out the dish soap trap later today

[ - ] Ragnar 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 09:53:45 ago (+1/-0)

Yuck, Toronto! Why’d you do that to yourself?

[ - ] n_word 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:49:32 ago (+1/-0)

They are attracted to you.

You saying he's fruity?

Don't fret, you're still the fruitiest goat.

You're repeating yourself, Raggie. Stress of being a daddy?

I did it so your geriatric ass can read

[ - ] DitchPig 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 10:33:51 ago (+1/-1)

lol, fake ragnar is a complete retard.

[ - ] namefagsrgay 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 15:57:09 ago (+0/-0)

If your area has dumpsters and they can get through your screen, you're pretty much hooped. If you live in an apartment with shared drains, same thing.

Poor boiling water or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down your drains

Leave out bowls of apple cider vinegar with a bit of dish soap

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper [op] 3 points 9 monthsJul 29, 2024 23:21:30 ago (+3/-0)

My old lady just told my about the apple cider vinegar and dish soap...but I've never seen them like this

[ - ] hylo 3 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 09:45:52 ago (+3/-0)

Fucker, listen to me. Take an empty plastic water bottle. Cut the top off so that you are left with a funnel. Turn it upside down and insert it into the bottom part. Tape the edges shut or just leave them if they're tight. You now have a fly trap. Pour some of that solution people are telling you to make in the bottom so the flies drown in it. Make a bunch of these and spread them around.

I will try this thank you. Got a little drosophila melanogaster problem myself.

[ - ] dingbat 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:19:54 ago (+1/-0)

Can confirm the vinegar/dish soap method works very quickly.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2024 00:00:55 ago (+0/-0)

This is the way. and buy some fly strips and hang up for a week.
