Hope this email finds you well! I used to email with Judy about my bulldogs, Mabelline and Romey. I was also a daily visitor to her Journal - I sure miss her!
With regard to your fruit fly problem, I had the same thing one time. I have a compost pile and I keep a pail under the sink to store scraps until I'm ready to walk them out to the composter. I had forgotten that I left scraps in there for a while, and for whatever reason decided to open up the lid in the kitchen, and about a thousand fruit flies flew out all over the kitchen!
What worked like a charm was the following: get a small bowl and put about one inch of apple cider vinegar, then swirl around a couple of drops of dish detergent into that vinegar and leave it on the counter. The vinegar has a strong odor and once they sit on the mixture with the dish detergent, they can't fly away. I caught almost all of them out of the kitchen in about 24 hours!
I am enjoying your blog - keep it up!
Kind regards,
Vanessa
Thanks, Vanessa I'm trying your suggestion right now!
