Anyone else getting loads of the little buggers, I mentioned it to my brother thinging it was a problem specific to our house but he said he has them as well.

Had a load last year but this was due to the chilli plant growing on the kitchen window sill.

Might be worth checking your houseplants.

Yeah, there was a mouldering Fairtrade pineapple and some decaying flowers but they are long gone.

Ah, Drosophila melanogaster, the dark-bodied dew-lover.

I got them at my place as well, first time I can really remember seeing them, seems to be a few of them and they doing my head in.

Have checked about the place and even stopped Dave coming round cos he's a fruit, but they still seem to be hanging about.

You need an electric fly swatter - best 4€ I ever spent

Like a little tennis racket, but the strings are metal, and you put a battery or two in the handle - think you can probably guess the rest

There is something sooooo pleasing about watching the sparks arcing over the fly, and then the smoke pouring off it.....

That's sadistic

flies are an important part of our economy&food chain
