I want to bring in a flock of birds into the house to exterminate them.

If you don't mind the smell for a couple of days, put bleach down all of your drains. That worked for my townhouse about 6 years back.

Open all your windows. I would think the cold would kill them off pretty fast

Correct that drain flies also exist, but I am not referring to drain flies.

Fruit flies very often make their nests in drains. Especially in houses that use the garbage disposal often.

At what point does a fruit fly decide to become a drain fly?

The fact that they are entirely different is a big part of it.

Bleach does nothing. It just runs down the drain. To get rid of fruit flies you need to get rid of the gunk where they lay eggs. Where are your fruit flies? They don't go far from where they lay their eggs.

So if in the kitchen, do you have a garbage disposal? If so does the black rubber splash guard come out? Take that out and look at the underside. Covered with gunk? Clean it thoroughly and my guess is in 24 hours your problem is gone. If it doesn't come out then just reach in there and clean it best you can.

If you don't have a garbage disposal then look around for other areas where there is accumulated gunk. Under refrigerator, stove or sink?

Point being, a fruit fly problem is a cleanliness problem.

Except that I specifically mentioned that bleach solved my own fruit fly issue years ago, but whatever you say. :lol: :lol:

Make sure you're inside of it too. Got to confirm you wipe out the fruit flies.

Fruit flies are a fruit problem. If you have no fruit out on the counter they will go away.

Post subject:  Re: These fucking fruit flies

Never knew we had so many fruit fly experts around! I actually did eradicate most of them with my paper funnel + vinegar method, just a couple of ones that refuse to go away. No disposal, but I am going to do my best to bleach the pipes away, as I do see them fly out of there sometimes when I go to rinse a glass out. I also like to run a Kuerig cycle to get hot water and dump that in the drain -- I think that probably kills some that are in there at the time, but it doesn't clean up the gunk that is causing the problem.
