Killing fruit flies

OP, you can't just release them outside as they have a strong homing instinct, (like pigeons) and will just fly back into your house.

The only way is to humanely dispatch them, one by one, with a lethal injection. The only hard part will be to find a hypodermic needle small enough.




Now, where's that emoticon for sarcastic !

Would not the electric chair be more humane?

Hi Kitrat,

I thought you were winding us up, but maybe not. Just ignore my sarcastic comments.

If you can't do it, then get your OH or someone else to release them.

I don't really know where to put this question, hope here is ok.

So I made a litle fruit fly trap - a little plastic food container without a lid, put some fruit inside and some clingfilm over the top, pricked a little hole in this with a pin. Now I have about 20-30 fruit flies in my trap.

Any other ideas?

Make a similar trap but this one kills them too.
