The Invasion of Fruit Flies

We spent last week in Pineville visiting Mems and Pops! We had other visitors as well......Many fruit flies invaded their home. The grandkids went to the garden to pick veggies and fruit with Mems and Pops, but they also brought back some new family members with them. We tried so hard to get rid of them. Every morning it seemed as if they multiplied while we were sleeping. So we got on the Internet to find a quick fix.....Below are our attempts. It really became very funny as the week progressed because each day we introduced a new trap!

Our first trap.....syrup and honey on a plate....did not work!!
Uncle Brett's Trap
Fruit in baggie with hole.....
Did not work
Internet trap.... Bottle with funnel and tomato
WORKED!!!! Took several days to catch them, but it was success!


My Ninjas Fighting The Fruit Flies!
They would run around swatting at the flies.
TOO CUTE!!!!

Bye Bye Fruit Flies!
Thanks to my Facebook Friends who gave me many great suggestions.
Never knew fruit flies were a household problem!
