Hi You might know the answer to this... I live with 3 other friends we all 24-25 and the beer cans we store in the kitchen sometimes attract these red bodied fruit flys.. (i say fruit flys cause they look identical to them except for there pinkish red bodies..(sorry cant explain fully) any idea what these are theyn seem to be VERY attracted to beer cans ...open wine or miced drinks they tend to stear away when we put side by side on counter... but i mean i cracked a beer other day there were thr

@rapidzmyrapidz DOOD....i came hope to an infestation that was estimated to be 5 or 7 generations deep (they breed fast). BLEECH in a spray bottle kicked ass and took them right out the air.

@jsrcamp they might if they dive bombed right into the vinegar but they usually don't. they climb in and explorer and go all around I've tried it and I find better to go with a banana and pin holes then once they're all in, I seal off the top with wrap then just shake the heck out of the bottle till they all get crushed.

@lg123xyz ummm once they get in to the vinigar they wont beable to get back out because they drown=)

Oops I just saw this was from a year ago lol

Apple cider vinegar, tried it with great sucess, had a jar in every room in my house cause they were every where. Left the jar out by a small light at night, catch them 24 hrs day.
