Default fruit fly

g'day jonno,

no mate it doesn't come down to your bronzed rugged good looks or
masculine aroma, the female of all species are hard to attract! us
males go easy hey?

in the garden try to adopt the theory of control and management of
pests etc, you will then get a balance, erradication won't happen or
if it does it will be at a cost.

we have trapped another mass of male flies all out of commission now
for the coming season, currently no fruit happening here as yet but
hopefully this will put us a head in the control stakes along with the
use of that product i earlier mentioned.

our female traps as usual work slow there are some dead bugs in them
but they maybe other sorts of flies??
