So I return to my lavish 6X7 dormitory after a week and a half at home to find that my suitemates (like a roommate but tasty) have left food out next to a compost bin, infesting our suite (like a dorm but tasty) with fruitflies. For the last eight hours I have been standing in my room hit flies because they got into my room and laid eggs. Unfortunately, the room does not vent well enough to use one of those fruit fly bombs as the resulting gas would poison me upon my return. Thus I have been exploiting my slight size advantage to rout the flies.

Tough work I'm afraid.

dude.... GL. Keep killing them, that battle will go on for about a week before they stop showing up. Man I remember waking up in the morning, killing 10+ flies, going to class, come back a few hours later, kill 10 more flies, do w/e I do that day, then kill 10 more before going to sleep, and continue the cycle the next morning.... sooooo annoying.

Take bowl, fill it with balsamic vinegar (don't know if regular vinegar works as well) and wait. Fruitflies tend to drown in it fairly quickly and in huge numbers.

Remove all things they can feed upon and they'll disapper pretty fast. Electrical swatters and vacuum cleaners are win too.

"Make a plastic zip lock bag trap:
Place a few slices of an apple inside a zip lock bag
Leave an inch open to allow pests to enter. The little pests will soon be on and surrounding the apple. Zip the bag closed and crush each one with your fingertips"
