I prefer the French fly trap. Leave the last inch of the red wine in the bottle, leave it out and open.
One of my pet peeves is people saying "beg the question" to mean that something makes them ask a question, when the phrase means someone is avoiding the question.
See, I didn't know they were talking about fruit flies in that saying. I always assumed they meant house flies, hence my usual response -- "Well maybe that's so, but if you really want to catch flies you need some Grade A bullshit."
I’m not sure how I learned about this myself, it was some time during my 30s (were roughly the same age). You probably only need to treat the offending drain.
I discovered that apple slices left overnight attract mosquitoes. I put the slices into jars, leave the lids on the counter nearby and in the morning I have dozens PLUS all happily eating apples. (I lid them quickly before they get wise.)
I love you Josh Slocum! You are wiser than I suspect you realize, but you know things that you shouldn't otherwise. You keep up the good work, no fear! HUGS <3
A history lesson and a tip for getting rid of fruit flies. This is a good day!
Also, and I got this from a great source: The ducks in the park are free; you can take them. I have 20 of them.
Wait, lolwut?

As a red-wine preferring alcoholic, there was never anything left for the flies!
Problematic to be sure
That's a great idea. ❤😎

All new Mr Slocum's fly-cider! High in protein, high in flavour, suitable for diabetics! Hurry now, stocks are dropping like flies!

Put about 1/4c bleach down each of your drains for the fruit flies. They breed in there and this kills them off at the source.
Oooh, thank you. I'm gonna do that.
You probably don’t even need a 1/4c, I just tip the bleach bottle and pour a little down them if I notice any pesky little bugs.
See, and I knew this, having noticed that they come out of the drain. Yet it didn't occur to me to do the obvious until you pointed it out.

Perfect thrift by noticing things and using what you have on hand. Well done!
Try my trick of poking holes in the lid. It works. They never get back out.
