The plan was to make chili today, but I altered it to pumpkin chili. Smells yummy. It is a bit on the spicy side. Well, very much on the spicy side. Ooops.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Move and leave no forwarding address.

What's the best method for getting rid of fruit flies?
Take a tupperware (old butter tub, whatever), and put a piece of cut-up fruit in it -- apple, banana, etc. Secure plastic wrap over the top with a rubber band. Poke holes in it with toothpick. The fruit flies will get in the holes b/c they smell the fruit, but won't get out b/c they can't smell their way back out. Or possibly they don't give a crap about getting out, since they've achieved Real Actual Fruit.

Heh. I will take that under advisement, Scrappy, but first I think I'll try Tep's method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All I know for sure is that you do catch more (fruit) flies with vinegar.
So there.

My experience contradicts that.
I only ran the experiment once, but the traps baited with honey got more flies than the ones with vinegar.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
