had a few fruit flies appear early this year
little annoying @$%!
got rid o them in about a week
after pulling out my cooker i found some Wort that i must have spilt [I REMEMBER A HYDROMETER FULL I SPILT A WEEK OR 2 EARLIER]
What i did was make up traps of cider vinegar sugar wort and a drop of washing up liquid
the washing up liquid breaks the surface tension making them sink
the odd ones not sinking just squash em throught the cling wrap
they can squeeze there selfs in by landing on the cling wrap BUT ARE NOT CLEVER ENOUGH TO FLY UP AND OUT ha ha
put the mix in a bowl or whatever cereal bowl or any thing down to a sherry glass MICROWAVABLE
Then cover in cling wrap pierce with pin pricks about 1 every inch and half o so
set your traps by swishing the liquid so it splashes the cling wrap
then put in microwave until hottish and causing more aroma
fruit flies have extreme sense of smell
set them in all your rooms
microwave daily
Hope this helps someone
