[Noisebridge-discuss] Killing Fruit Flies

[E]

    Mice in the Mission is a full time thing.  Instead of restarting the mice thread every 6 months, why not add mouse maintenance to the list of things that need to happen often. Just like taking out the garbage is weekly, getting rid of the mice is a reoccurring thing too. 
    A lot of it comes down to the kitchen being clean and with all these fruit fly posts, it sounds like thats not happening.

For killing flies, you want both vinegar and over-ripe fruit.  The fruit is the main thing that attracts the flies so it is still worth grabbing a rotten piece from the market downstairs.  Good luck!
