Shoo, fly!

Curses, fruit flies! They have moved into our house, and seem to be defying their supposed 10-day life span. Upon the advice of a well-known source (Toby), I have created the following trap. I didn't have bananas, so I just used wine. God knows the little bastards enjoy sipping from my glass when I have one.

Step 1: Pour some wine and/or fruit into a bowl
Step 2: Cover the bowl with saran wrap
Step 3: Poke holes in the saran wrap (they can get in but not out)



I put down my trap yesterday. So far I've had lots of lookers, but no buyers. Could be due to the size of the holes--I made a couple of bigger ones so they could get in easier (trying to make this a welcoming haven), but I think they're using them as exit doors as well. If no one is in there tonight, I'll replace the saran wrap.

I'm out to kill. War has been declared. I will be sure to keep you posted.
