Thanks everyone. I have no houseplants I got rid last year. No rotting food. As I know off. Got the cider vinigar traps and they do go in. I'm just paradox to where the little blisters are coming from. I have a pear and apple tree outside. Wondering if they coming from that. Not picked any this year, as that what started them last year.
Am I missing something? Fruit flies don't bite, sting, damage plants or spread disease. They pollinate flowers, and in a compost bin, their larvae help the breakdown process. In the kitchen, they let you know when your fruit is ripe. So why are you all so bent on destroying them? A more helpful and inoffensive insect would be hard to find.
Well I don't like them in my kitchen, they are annoying. I just didn't have a few i had swarms. If they stay outside that wouldn't bother me. But coming into my kitchen is offensive.
Have you told them they are being offensive? Maybe nobody mentioned it.
If you come in to the kitchen and touch something and a cloud of them go up, then that will be the thing they're after. I have to keep my sink spotless at the moment and the rubbish bin lid tight down. There will be a source - you just have to find out what it is. They are bugger for basil plants, I found. They seem to love them.
It is, though, the season of the fruit fly - they are doing what they do - and as the weather cools, they disappear.
No there are no fruit at all. Been on holiday for a week. I did have some before I went away but thought they were under control. But the fly paper was covered. I renewed it before going on holiday.
