EEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Above you see a trap for fruit flies, four of which have been lured into this small glass of white wine with dish soap in it. The wine to lure, the soap to keep them from escaping.

This makes about 50 total that have been trapped, swum around, and finally drowned, drunk I guess. BUT WHAT WAS THE SOURCE of these nasty critters?????

I have thrown away fruit, cleaned everything in the kitchen, poured boiling water down the drain numerous times. Still, more fruit flies. GRRRRRR.

Tonight, I found the source. The small composting pail I started about 4 months ago but then forgot about when it got full. Moist. Warm. Rotten. Perfect environment for breeding fruit flies.

I don't think I'm going to go green after all.
