Once again besieged by fruit flies Pestiferous infestation quite argh apartment unit b44 plagued with plight analogously linkedin to phenomena experienced within outer limits of the twilight zone dark shadows akin to edge of night opportunistic nuisance might necessitate exterminator as occurred ofttimes before when writing, living, breathing, et cetera space affected by massive infestation of Drosophila melanogaster light (scientific name as same itty bitty winged flitting nuisance ignite mentioned in title) besieged, inundated, and thickly swarmed dost primp and pretty fie themselves (to attract a witty mate) during their 40 to 50 days city, or suburban life cycle long enough to qualify for this quickly written ditty seemingly overnight a bajillion biz zee buzzing adults each about 1/8 inch long not to be confused and bigger than no see hmms - the latter officially called Ceratopogonidae, no see ums, also known as biting midges, sandflies, punkies and sand gnats, are small flies usually between one and three millimeters long. They're known to feed on the blood of humans and animals, leaving itchy, uncomfortable bite marks on the skin. Back to the former insects, whose webbed, wide world seen thru at least one unusual red eye, which compound eye of the fruit fly contains 760 unit eyes or ommatidia, well nigh hapt tubby one of the most advanced among insects, where Google search for home remedies aye didst find to exterminate these teeny weeny pests, plus informational pursuit my instantaneous curiosity yielded above mentioned esoteric tidbits, sans accidentally discovered visa vis helpful good riddance material of household ingredients restraining me to breathe sigh of dollop, and hope to try one or more solutions, which informed me, an amateur entomologist - listed forthright as: 1.Create a trap by mixing apple cider vinegar with a few drops of dish soap. 2. Another homemade trap is to pour leftover red wine into a jar. 3. Mash up banana slices in a jar, and cover top with a plastic wrap. 4. Pour bleach solution into bathroom sink. A last ditch effort involves housing liberal population of bats, they for heaven's sakes might invite hellcats, nevertheless both creatures more acceptable and less indistinguishable from conservative bureaucrats.
