little fruit flies are in my kitchen while I am doing my wine. I have
not seen any in my must or secondaries, but I feel like I am playing
with gasoline inside a torchlit room. does anyone have some
suggestions? I am using flypaper right now which is catching them, but
more still apear.
not quite clouds of them, but enough to have me ask here.
Last year I hung up fly papers like you said , but attached a couple
pieced of orange peel too the paper....seemed to chum em' in . I found
these strips at Lowes...they look like the old Shell no pest
strips....kills them just fine , but should be used in a pretty open
area ( Toxic in food prep areas). If you can get pyrethrin spray ,
it's certified organic , very effective , and one would assume less
toxic to people and wine. Another trick is a small jar with a little
hole in lid with a sip of beer or wine it ...buggers fly in but not
out. We've pretty much gotten used to drinking our wine with a coaster
sitting on to between swigs. Good Luck.
