How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies
To limit the amount of fruit flies you and do some of the following things.
First off keep your counter lean from any food sources.
Keep your sink drains clean. Fruit flies like to breed on the slim in sink drains. Use a good soap or other cleaner to wash the drains. Bleach doesnt do a good job for cleaning drains. I use a product called mella magic that can be purchased from melaleuca products.
Eggs that are on certian frouits like bananas can be brought in from the store. Wash all fruit and I have heard that if you wrap the tip of the stalk it helps to keep fruit flies away, but I have never tried this. The bananas I have, i cut ingo 1/4″ piceces and freeze them. when I want some I just take them out of the freezer and the thaw pretty fast.
