Fruit Fly Invasion

My hostility towards fruit flies began my junior year of high school.  In AP Biology, there is a lab that every class does, every year, as they study genomes.  To properly study the dominant and receive genes in a population, you need generations of that population.  You need a creature that reproduces quickly and prodigiously.  You need insects.  In this case, fruit flies.  I despised this lab.  Not only did we have to breed fruit flies, a pest at the best of times; we had to stare at them through microscopes.  Really study this nasty little creatures.  And invariably, every year some would escape the biology lab and we'd have a fruit fly infestation at school.  Which is just annoying.  So began my war with this bug.

Besides being squeamish about staring too closely at these tiny villains, they also have a strike against them in that they destroy my favorite food: fruit!  As I said, villains...

Every year was have an infestation at some point in the summer, what with all the fresh fruit coming in.  I had had enough, and so I searched for a solution.  And I found one.  Apparently, fruit flies get stuck in bubbles!  A novel concept.  So here's what you do: Fill a wide-mouthed jar with soapy water (you need the bubbles) and pour in some apple cider vinegar.  The fruit flies will be drawn to its apple-y smell and get stuck in the bubbles! No more fruit flies! It takes a day or two and you need to refresh the trap, but it does work wonderfully.  [Nuka 1 - Fruit flies 0.5] (let's be honest, their initial invasion should count for something.)

Oh and P.S.

I have a similar war with house flies, but that consists more of me just attacking with a fly swatter than any stealthy trap...
