Fruit Flies - YUCK.

11:35 , June 22, 2006 I am so thankful to stretcher.com today. I had been pulling my HAIR out because each morning when I have been coming into the kitchen, I've been greeted with a CLOUD of fruit flies. I have cleaned and cleaned and searched and done everything in my power to find the "rotten banana" but to no avail.

I went to stretcher last night desperate for help. Someone said that a friend told her that she dumped bleach down her kitchen drain and let it set overnight. Turns out fruit flies sometimes live in the drains. This is a new house for us - a 70 year old farmhouse. We just moved in less than a month ago. I am sooo excited. I tried it; it worked.

See how networking helps? I want HSB to become like that - a real help for people. Keep your tips and wonderful stories coming. You never know who you might be helping - even a bumbling homesteader like myself.
