We get them every year, along with big black flies at the beginning of the spring every year. UGH. Usually they just go away after a few weeks but they drive me INSANE. Usually bananas or the trash cans outside are the culprit, but sometimes it's just NOTHING. Seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fruit-flies-at-home#post-205638 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:15:40 +0000 mrs. bird 205638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: not to be super gross, but if they're in the bathroom and not around food/trash, they might be drain flies. We get them in our building each summer. I put out a cup with a little water, a couple tablespoons of vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fruit-flies-at-home#post-205629 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:10:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 205629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get them sometimes - put out a glass of sweet wine and they will drown themselves in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fruit-flies-at-home#post-205627 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:09:35 +0000 banana 205627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I have a mole on the inside of my hand (on my palm) and sometimes I get excited cause I think it's a fruit fly but then I realize it's just my mole. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fruit-flies-at-home#post-205621 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:08:06 +0000 chopsuey 205621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: haha. yeah, you have to be fast!

I should change my user name cause I'm starting to hate bananas now.</p> <p>And seriously, I can't kill one to save my life! They'll be flying around and I'll try to quickly grab one with my hand and think "Yah!! I gotcha!".... open my hand... nope...nothing there.

They love the beer, and then they get trapped!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fruit-flies-at-home#post-205272 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:20:02 +0000 chopsuey 205272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!
