>>Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly, a little insect about 3mm long, of the kind that accumulates around spoiled fruit. It is also one of the most valuable of organisms in biological research, particularly in genetics and developmental biology. Drosophila has been used as a model organism for research for almost a century, and today, several thousand scientists are working on many different aspects of the fruit fly. Its importance for human health was recognised by the award of the Nobel prize in medicine/physiology to Ed Lewis, Christiane Nusslein-Volhard and Eric Wieschaus in 1995.I'm a vegetarian and the shit's getting in my beer can before I've poured it out. How do you kill dem all? Turn around for a minute and they're all over the place. Cunts.

And yeah, I just fished one out my beer mug and flicked it.
All I'm trying to say is I've had that problem before and cleaning up after myself solved it. If they're coming into your place anyway than you need to holler at your landlord.
My landlord keeps a jammy in his pants and thinks he's Tony Soprano. His l-plate says "BADABING1". He'd laugh at me. I know what your sayin tho. Main thing is empties really.
yeah, but homeboy has a lazy susan in his fridge just for the Asahi!
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE?!?! Is it a rimmed-out white Ford Explorer? I swear I've seen that whip in Brooklyn.
White Oldsmobuick SUV. That's him, He's also got a white Lex, and a white Saab. One of them has plate "Scrappy". He's in the salvage business, knows a lot of Italians.
You should clean all fruit and vegetables right after buying it. The flies put their eggs on the peel of fruits and cleaning it will most definitely help to a large degree. You won't see the eggs, but they're there.
You can build your own fly trap. Just put some apple juice or cider vinnegar in a glass and put some dish liquid in it too. The flies will try to drink some juice (they usually can walk on the water), but the dish liquid takes the surface tension of the fluid and the flies will sink! Or put a squashed banana piece into a glass and put a funnel on it. The flies will go into the glass through the funnel, but can't go out. This way will leave you with a room odor though.
Plus make sure to clean your trashcan often and chuck away old fruit and sweet juices early.
Good luck! Those flies are annoying and yuite resistable.
Alright, thanks for all the tips guys!
Well you did ask.
