Wedding Woes

::hmo::

The absolute bane of my existence has returned. I know you hate this pest with the same fiery hot ferver that I hate them with. THE FRUIT FLIES.

I HATE HATE HATE THEM, YO.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what they are eating/how they are being born and staying alive in my house.

I am ready to release an atom bomb on my house in order to get rid of them.

    My hate stems from the fact that I look like an idiot clapping everywhere. I  swear I was trying to kill a fly.

    YES.  I have had two in the house that I cannot smush or otherwise obliterate.  IDK how they are living or how they got in, but it makes me want to move.

    Bananas are the worst, I am assuming.

    OFace, we don't buy bananas. My best guess, is they are living/breeding in the kitchen sink drain. I run the disposal CONSTANTLY trying to move everything through/kill them.

    H is on their team. He leaves things out for them. I am on his about this every summer. We almost divorced on '10 because he left blueberries out on the counter during the summer.

    Have you put anything down the disposal to clean it?  Ice and lemon slices work pretty well in ours.  I have had to buy some soap stuff in a biodegradable bag that you shove down there.

    6 - As soon as I get my car back, I'm going to Home Depot and asking them to hook me up with something. If you remember the name of something that worked, I'd appreciate it. IT MAY VERY WELL SAVE MY MARRIAGE!

    Min, just dump vinegar and baking soda down the drain.  it will help immensely.

    hmo - we don't share our ventilation system with anyone, so we know they are breeding in our house AND I CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE. It is making me insane.
