If you currently have a colony of small annoying flies in the kitchen, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Octomas are sitting on your food, a flock will settle in the basket, you just know it. See how to destroy them so that the house does not.
Unfortunately, the period of warm months is also equal to the infestation of many apartments and houses. As the second name “fruit flies” can tell, these small annoying beasts attract any fruit and some types of vegetables you left unattended on the table. During the warm months, you can see them widely around waste bins, garbage bins and in worse cases also at home. But the good news is that it is not difficult to get rid of them at all. And even better news is that as a firing platoon you will need things that you already have at home.

Fruit flies of liquidation
The liquidation of fruit flies is no science at all. You can find the ideal means of removing fruit flies in their name. Yes, exactly, it’s vinegar. Octomasies love vinegar, which means that you can safely use it to kill them. All you have to do is pour into a smaller bowl and stretch through a transparent food foil over it. Then use a toothpick to make small holes. These are used to get the flies in. Then they will not be able to get back, which means they will drown. It’s slightly radical, but it works. For a clearer conscience, you can say that little creatures have died in something she loved. This is not a lot of animals and people unfortunate.
If you don’t have vinegar at your disposal, don’t fall in mind. You can use any liquid that smells them as a bait. For example, it can be beer, fruit juice or wine. In short, virtually any fermented or sweetened drink. And if food foil pierced toothpicks makes you a problem, you can use another trap.
Take a glass and pour vinegar, beer, juice or wine into it. Then add the liquid soap you use for dishes. Mix everything thoroughly and you’re done. The soap solution is an effective trap, as the fruit flies will land on the mixture they will smell, but they will no longer fly out of it.

Prevention against octomilders
Of course, it would be best if the fruit flies in your home never entered. Of course, this can be arranged. First, it is important that you do not leave food and drink just freely lying on the table. Whenever you don’t do anything, clean up the food back to the fridge. Always close drinks if it has a lid.
Remember, the most octomasies attract the smell of rotten foods. Therefore, it is ideal to bring the basket more often, especially during the summer when food is spoiled faster. These steps serve to avoid having to go to the radical solutions you have read above.
