Mainly, I think, because I have a lot of havested fruit and vegetables
in my kitchen - plums, apples, tomatoes, etc - I seem to get more and
more little fruit flies each year.

I wondered what environmentally friendly methods urglers use to keep
levels of these small flies under control at this time of year.

Fly Paper.

Yes, we have that in our own kitchen and a zapper in the tea room and its
kitchen. Someone told me today of a fly swat that is electrified so that
you zap as soon as you hit the fly. And in reply to David, I found fly
swats in our local and delightfully old-fashioned-but-efficient ironmongers.
