As soon as I actually put out a little glass of wine or beer they seem to know and stay clear of it. <BR/><BR/>I've tried the honey too and it seems like it couldn't fail to work, but it does fail. Why?Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25736696.post-35098187225621562662007-11-23T08:22:00.000-08:002007-11-23T08:22:00.000-08:00Before I got to the end of the post, I was going t...Before I got to the end of the post, I was going to suggest wine. Once, when we lived in Lawrence, we had lots of dirty dishes and lots of produce and lots of those annoying (though not as gross as the house variety) flies. I had brought home some wine from work, some left over, poured-together-from-opened-bottles wine. I thought I'd cook w/ it. But it ended up uncorked on the counter, amoung the dirty pots and dishes.<BR/><BR/>The next day, as I tackled the dishes, I thought there were fewer flies. And when I got to the wine, I found out why! They were in the bottle. Some were dead in the liquid, but many were just inside the bottle. I covered the opening and shook it up. Fly trap! I left it there for a few days and got lots of the flies. <BR/><BR/>I assume the fly thing is seasonal, like the sugar ants that invade my kitchen sink in summertime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
