It has been brought to my attention that sundews (drosera spp) eat fruit flies, and suddenly I have a mighty need for a new houseplant.

#we still have all our fruit fly guards from last year #traps and mesh netting over the fruit and compost #but as soon as it got hot they just SURGED inside #it's the worst

anyway does science care to explain why my work computer is a magnet for these 2 fruit flies. there are exactly two at all times. what does this mean

#going fucking insane because my cat eats a bunch of meat as cats do #and its in my garbage for a split second before a whole colony appears like what the fuck am i supposed to do at this point #by it i mean an empty food can. in the garbage #cant stop thinking about the name fruit fly all summer tbh because i know they enjoy everything thats not news thats fine #but they seem to prefer meat so much more idk #seems a bit morbid #I'll throw this out and where will the already spawned meat fuckers go #eat me at night probably #x #anyway i hear people use traps for fruit flies and idk if this is me being medieval superstitious but i swear they just multiply not move #like sure this shot of vinegar will collect the ones from this square meter of space but theyre still vibing a bit over there #im suffering #fruit fly monologue during work hours because im normal i think

feeling useless and unwanted vs. killing 30+ fruit flies

#skylar talks #we've been having some bug problems in our apartment due to our shitty balcony door #and while we were away at a con #a fuck ton of fruit flies just. materialized out of nowhere. it's been stressful!!#but then i realized i was actually super good at killing them #i spent half an hour just sniping them #we're getting an actual fly trap tomorrow but i thinned out the numbers a LOT #jess got a ton too #it's so much better now it's so relieving #and it made me feel super useful and wanted and needed #which i have felt like absolutely 0 of those lately #so that's all to say. if you are having major self worth issues like i am/was. just get good at killing flies apparently dgdibskhd

My yellow plumeria is growing very rapidly and had their first flower open. It smells very nice and a bit like lemons. And my "Black Knight" echeveria flowered as well. I don't think I've ever had a red succulent flower quite this red, which is pretty cool.

#adventures in gardening #it's entirely too hot to be outside any longer #i managed to water everything and set up new citrus pest traps and some fruit fly traps #everything else will have to wait until cooler weather

by the way you can make a trap like this to catch fruit flies non-lethally. papertowels soaked in wine also work as bait!

I reccomend putting whatever fruit you see them after in the fridge, and then uses slices of exactly that fruit as the bait (sometimes they have been picky in my experience, so I say just use whatever they are obviously already after)

this has been rotting in my files for eons,,, I keep meaning to post it during the correct season and then I forget,,, and now that I think about it that is kinda moot anyway? cuz people in the other hemisphere would still be dealing with shit while I've got winter because That Is How Hemispheres Do??? oergiejgifhg

Gnat trap is the bomb... It hasn't even been a full day. Maybe like 20 hours. All that dark stuff at the bottom is dead fruit flies.

I left an iced coffee on the headboard of my bed behind me for like a couple hours and by the time I returned to it six fruit flies had drowned in it. I’m gonna set my fucking apartment on fire.

I have this like….conspiracy theory that this what shit like the Bagdad battery is- just some weird random project someone’s dad started and never finished. Just saving it for when it /might/ come in handy.

And now historians are having a grand ol time.

#it’s like some convicted fruit fly trap #just imagine #some kid #being like dad please #throw it out #but it’s ancient Mesopotamia

#moved in with my mom because my grandma treats me like dogshit #found out a few days ago my mom doesnt even want me here and is just waiting for me to get tired and go back home #despite constantly saying she wants me to move in with her #woke up this morning getting yelled at because i spilled this fruit fly trap in the bathroom last night #(i cleaned it. btw. and left a note saying i bought a new one to replace it)#and also she got pissed because her baby sat on the floor and got dog hair on her from penny #and was like “oh ofc bc you dont clean and youre an idiot”#this entire time. shes on the phone with my grandma telling her all this and my grandma is like “welcome to my world”#as if im some horrible thing to have around for anyone #and my mom starts mocking me on the phone because i told her yesterday that 6am is a little early for me to wake up if i sleep at 2 #and i just dont know what to do #tried to spend time w my mom and show her something i like the other day and she didnt care and tried to go on tiktok the whole time instead #i just. dude.#i cant stay here because my mom clearly hates me and doesnt want me here and i cant go home because itd be the same story with my grandma #(plus shes said its better without me there anyway. so. whatever i guess)#godddddd god god god #i dont like having to choose between two different tortures. i dont.

I have an ingenious solution to a fruit fly problem that seems unavoidable. If you love keeping bowls of fresh fruit on my counter, sadly, the fruit flies come as a package deal. But once you learn how to make this dead simple fruit fly trap, they will no longer be a problem.
