I'm experiencing a crazy fruit fly attack for the first time! Has anyone ever experienced this and what did you do about it?
I have a home made trap as you can see, but I am hoping for answers on how to prevent it in the future! The brewery is in the basement and there are no other food/fruit sources.
Also, does anyone know of a better/faster method to trap and eliminate the little buggers? Pictured is a simple paper cone with a small opening just above about an inch of wine.
Can/should I take them outside and release them? Are they actually able to find their way back in the house? I don't want to just be creating a utopia for fruit flies able to sip wine and hang out with friends indefinitely!
