Grab a trash bag and be ruthless. Throw out any overripe fruit, empty the recycling bin of sticky beer cans, and wipe down every single counter. Pay special attention to the crevice behind the toaster—that’s where they hold secret meetings. “But what if I just do the vinegar trap?” you ask. Stop it. You can’t out-trap a dirty kitchen, it’s like mopping the floor while the faucet is running.
Don’t forget the sink drain. Those little jerks breed in the slimy gunk inside your garbage disposal. Pour a cup of baking soda, then a cup of white vinegar, let it fizz for 10 minutes, and chase it with boiling water. It’s like a hot spring spa treatment—for your pipes, and a fiery death for their eggs. You’re welcome.
