Hey Y'all!
Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of fruit flies? The kids and
I were gone for the weekend and left the hubby at home to tend to the
farm. While we were gone he decided to cut open a watermelon and then
left half of it out on the table. When we got home the fruit flies had
taken over the kitchen! How disgusting! I've tried everything I can
think of to get rid of them, but they just seem to be getting worse!
Please keep in mind that I much prefer chemical free remedies.
Thanks!

Remove all food sources. The flies will die within a week then clean
the window sills. Don't kill the spiders, at least not yet.
