Clean your counters immediately after cutting fruit. A single drop of apple juice can start a dynasty.
Store your bananas, tomatoes, and peaches in the fridge. Yes, it makes them a little less sweet, but it’s better than hosting a fruit fly rave at 2 a.m.
Take your recycling out more often. Empty beer cans and wine bottles are basically fly condos with room service.
What About Those Fancy Gadgets?
You don’t need a UV light trap or a $40 fan that sucks them into a sticky pad. Those are for people who’ve given up on life.
Stick to the vinegar traps. They cost about twelve cents, and they work better than anything with a plug. Save your money for, I don’t know, a really good avocado.
