I've actually noticed an increase of fruit flies that are literally taking over my apartment! Was eating spinanch salad last night when I saw three fruit flies buzzing around me. Whoa.

Only three? LOL Wait until there is a cloud of them. My former raw roomie and I discovered that they can live off of so many things in a pinch dish sponges, the tiniest bit of fruit juice missed while cleaning the counter, even the alcohol from fermented stuff. We started calling them "Boozers". You can buy special traps for them, but we developed our own traps and took them outside to join their friends that lived around the garden. Just put a bit of overripe fruit into the bottom of a mason jar and have a mason jar lid (not the screw ring) handy. Sneak up on the jar when there's a bunch of Boozers in it and quickly put the lid on. Take them outside and be sure you're away from the door or open unscreened window when you remove the lid and let them go.
Ah, the humane way of doing things. Your reply read like a story, leading up to the final climax. You kept me waiting with anticipation on what you were going to do with the "boozers." LOL. Never thought of them that way but now that I've read your account, well, then, boozers they are! :)
