For fruit flies, cut a lemon in half, then press cloves into the flesh. Place in or near your fruit bowl.

They fly in from the patio through to the living room where they batter themselves on the window, one of us lets them out. I swear they then fly back round and do it again

I get rid of fruit flies with cider vinegar and a splash of washing up liquid in a ramekin

Theres one that just does not leave me alone - I’ve got a fly spray but I’m waiting for him to rest on the window , before I zap him 😂

Fly Swatter if you can get them to land on something ? My cheap two quid plastic one is very effective.

How do you get rid of yours? Someone on here said something about honey and something else in the bottom of a jar.anyone remember what it was?
