Fruit Flies or something like that?
I think we have fruit flies in my kitchen. They are these little flies that are annoying! What can I do to get rid of them? They are driving me nuts!

Re: Fruit Flies or something like that?
You have to find the source of the problem : like, is there food on the counter, soda cans open, beer bottles , fruit, old food in garbage, any old food in the cabinets? My MIL also put vinegar and water in bowls and put them around the kitchen to catch them ! HTH good luck

Re: Fruit Flies or something like that?
sounds like it could also be drain flies. are they also in your bathroom and seem to come out of the toilet and other drains in there?
pour boiling water down the drains- that will kill them.

Drain flies are a real thing? We had them in both the kitchen and the bathroom and I couldn't understand why there were fruit flies in the bathroom. Thanks for the tip about the boiling water.

I heard apple cider vinegar works well.

I've caught a few that way but not alot...my best defense is clapping them. They are pretty easy to catch
I usually get them from bananas or if i don't empty my compost container every day.
