Eugene Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thought I'd throw this in here .In the last year in Calgary there's been an infestation of fruit flies thru grocery stores when brought home . We've been trying too get rid of them but. The wife bought a Uv bug catcher( Costco) that works well they just are attracted to the light and get sucked up in a vacum with wire mesh and plastic valve there usually dead and dried in a week .Once in a while some are alive , I just pull out the screen trap and dip and shake in the fish tank they eatem right away.

Sprucegruve Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 that sounds really cool but im not sure if i trust the dust that the vacum would suck up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thers no dust its a wire mesh with a small fan when they get close to the light they get pulled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucegruve Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Interesting, is this just a summer thing? If I went to costco would they still sell them? Or what is the brand-name,I would like to research this product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBP Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Get a cheap bottle of white wine and leave a bowl with wine in it near your problem area like near your fruit. It takes a few days but you catch them easily and you can always have a sip from the bottle while your waiting to catch the flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
