Fruit Fly Problem?

I never really had any problems with fruit flies until last summer, and my family got a ton of them! We don't even let our fruit sit out, we keep most of them in the fridge! Okay, so we've tried the following:


-Poored Bleach down drains


-Kill a fruit fly when we see one


-Put cleaning products in the cornor of rooms to make sure they'll die if they hit that area.





All these work, but only for a short amount of time!


There's another problem: I get most of them in my room, which is weird, since I don't have fruit in there!





So if someone could tell me what causes them, why I get them in my room so much, and how to get rid of them!





Please answer soon, because even though its spring, I've already seen about 20 in my house!

Fruit Fly Problem?
Try putting red wine, or red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke holes in it.





Works in my kitchen all the time (:
Reply:First... how are they getting in?





The, get a fly trap and let it sit out . Fly Baits such as MaxForce Fly Bait and Golden Malrin work well to attract and kill flies





Buy Gentrol and treat the drains and garbage pails. It will kill the fly eggs , too.
Reply:they are very attracted to vinegar and beer/alcohol
Reply:Go to your local hardware store, such as Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. and go to the section with all the weed and bug killers. There might be something there.





If you don't want to use pesticides, here's what my family did when we got the same problem. Search your ENTIRE house for any fruit or vegetable that is ROTTEN. Throw all the rotten produce away and immediately take out the garbage. Since fruit flies are attracted to rotten produce, they should go away soon.





You might want to try searching the internet also.





Another way to solve this problem is too leave as many doors and windows open as you can, and put some fruit outside. The fruit flies should head outside to get to the fruit.





Hope I helped.
Reply:Well I had the same problem and I know what your going through the one and only thing that worked for me was putting my air on and getting it real cold in the house for like 3 days straight and they were gone....
Reply:Go get a 16 oz. water bottle you don't need the cap. Go up to the top of the water bottle right before it tapers. Then there cut around it until you have 2 different pieces one that looks like a funnel and one the kinda looks like a tall jar get a piece of rotten fruit and put it inside the jar part get the funnel part and turn it upside and put it in the jar down it works because fruit flies have poor eye sight so they use walls and surfaces to guide there way so when they feel there way in side they use the the funnel once they get in and eat how ever much they want then they use the sides of the jar piece they won't be able to get out.
