How do U get rid of fruit flys, how do u keep them from entering ur house?

I have a fruit fly infestation. I have removed all food sources for them but still find them in other areas of the house...plants and such...I've sprayed down my plants and found that they come in with food that I buy from the grocery store. Unfortunately I have access to only two grocery stores in my town. Any way I can spray down my veggies with something to kill any potential pests....what do I do with things like Patatoes, onions and stuff to keep them from potential breeding grounds?

First.....let the plants' soil become drier before watering. The wet soil will attract the flies. Anything sweet will attract them too such as fruits.



Put out lids or small bowls of vinegar in each room.
Reply:Every time you buy fruit and bring it home, you are probably bringing home fruit flies which live on the fruit. Either get your fruit at a better grocery store, or you will have to put the fruit in ziploc bags and put them in the fridge. Yes, you should clean your house, especially the kitchen and the bathrooms, and you should wash the fruit, but if you don't put the fruit in the fridge, you will have more fruit flies all over again.
Reply:I have a brush for scrubbing veggies. Especially good for potatoes. I wash fruit under running water into a colander and a bowl. After I clean them I run the water until the bowl is full of fresh water and let them sit in that for a while. It doesn't seem to matter how good you clean them if you put the residue (orange peels or any fleshy part) in the garbage and don't remove it very soon. I left a half a lemon on the counter and when I came home from work I had a family of them.
Reply:I would suggest you to put the potato's and onions in a cabinet for now where you can close them in but still let them breath, then I would use a towel and swish them toward a open door to get them out them use flyswatter. When you buy fruits and vegetables stop out on your porch with them first before entering the house go thought them outside if their are over ripe ones discard them in your compost pile or trash can out side only bring ion the good ones, I do this with my potato's and any fruit that comes all cluttered together, like berries, grapes, apples etc...

I hope I helped with this answer.

Reply:Make sure that the kitchen drain is clean. I find that in the summer i have a lot more fruit flies hanging out around that. So to get rid of them, i pour bleach down the drain, and then run hot water for a minute.
Reply:You can get special sticky ribbons that attract flies, and put them in places near food, but replace them often and put them in secret places, cause GROSS!!! They can get pretty nasty!

Also, the vinegar works too, but put it in a tall glass, like half full (or half empty, what ever) and put a plastic bag over it, but dont tie it down. The flies go up in the bag to get the vinegar, but cant get out because of the inverted bag. Its gross, but works like a charm.
