What is the best way to prevent fruit flies in the home?

Answer by  dedre (998)

Fruit flies are attracted to anything from food to various types of other waste exposed inside and outside of the home. The best prevention is to dispose of all unused portions of food and other waste as soon as possible into a closed container for further removal to a waste management facility.

First of all, they are called fruitflies for a reason! Keep fruit refrigerated or in covered containers and eliminate garbage. Wipe kitchen counters with bleach water and other areas the flies frequent. Natural ways to keep flies away include sweet basil and mint plants, and eucalyptus oil on fabric squares.
