Cider Vinegar Fly Pool of Doom


The only down side to receiving heaps of lovely home grown tomatoes are the nasty tiny little flies that seem to accompany them. Now I am a fly freak. Can't stand them. The worst torture device for me would probably be to lock me in a room with tiny little flies and no fly swatter while L does her air raid siren cry. Anyway, one day I read a post on Purple is a Fruit, just about the funniest mommy blog ever, and she was talking about having a fly problem and her solution. A little cider vinegar with a little oil to break the surface tension in a bowl with plastic wrap on top. Poke a few fly sized holes in the top and voila! Instead Fly Pool of Doom! I have 9 flies already! It's probably a bit sadistic that I count. Just don't tell the DH. He's really more of a catch and release man. :)

Lock DH in that tiny room with no fly swatter and see if he isn't converted to the correct way to kill flies.

Fly Pool of Doom!! How funny!

Just don't confuse it with salad dressing after it has gathered flys...

Have a great weekend, and thanks for restoring my ability to comment!
