I have slain the fruit flies! VICTORY!!!
Kate's fool-proof guide to defeating ALL the fruit flies
Step one: Put a bunch of cut-up grapes and some honey water in an old jar, plus a few drops of soap to disturb the water surface so they can't land on it
Step two: Saran wrap the top (or secure a ziploc bag over top with a hair band, I mean it's basically the same right?)
Step three: Poke a bunch of tiny holes in the plastic with a fork (CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE HOLES TOO CLOSE TO THE RIM OF THE JAR they are smart enough to finagle their way out of these)
Step four: Wait.
Step five: Repeatedly observe a metric fuckton of flies resting on top of the plastic. Devise new plan. Trap them with a plastic grocery bag and release the devils outside.
Step six: Repeat new plan at least twice. You will look really strange running out of your dorm building holding a shopping bag over a jar of goop. Embrace it.
Step six: Finally get tired of having this jar of gunk sitting on your counter and become relatively satisfied with the decrease in fruit fly numbers even though you didn't see that many in your jar when you emptied it twice before. Go to pour out gunk in sink. Realize that there are like 60 fly corpses drowned in your syrupy death trap. Rejoice.
