I finally killed the fruit fly that's been buzzing my face for the past two days and I want to hoot and holler and jump for joy
IT'S BACK

I HAVE KILLED IT THREE MORE TIMES.

YOU COULD ARGUE THERE'S MORE THAN ONE BUT I NEVER SEE MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME

@charlesrandall

But the cat came back, the very next day...

@theogrin yes exactly this and next step is I blow my house up

@charlesrandall
That's me and houseflies. I eventually set out a tiny amount of Big Red in the bottom of a 2L bottle with the top inverted.

... while this seems to work, I don't actually see any flies in the trap.

@theogrin I have little catchers with cider vinegar and they are a graveyard but somehow it doesn't matter

@charlesrandall

What, complete with teeny tiny little crosses for the fruit flies?

But it really does never matter. They're there, and they'll be there until the turning of the year.

@charlesrandall get one of those electric fly swatters so you can pretend to be Luke Skywalker as you vanquish your flying foe
