[Sca-cooks] fruit flies

[Laura L]

I'll have to try these suggestions, as well... we are *constantly* plagued
by fruit flies... must have something to do with the insane amounts of fruit
we eat around here! (28lbs of oranges in 7 days for 2 people? that's a lot
of fruit!)

This message is from our Principality e-list.  I haven't tried it, but it
looks viable.

"Go back to the store to the laundry
detergent section and purchase "20 Mule Team Borax", the real thing.  When
you get home put a few tablespons on a paper plate or open dish, add a
teaspoon of sugar to attract them and they will eat and die.
That's how I keep fruit flies from my vintning area.  Refresh the plate from

time to time and you'll be free of the pests, without any toxins."
