How do I get rid of fruit flies in house plants without chemicals?
plain old soap and water. mix 'em in a spray bottle and spray once a week 'til they're gone
Reply:Put the plants in front of the T.V. and make them watch "Dancing With The Stars..."





Even "fruit flies" hate that show...(and they'll just fly away somewhere more sane...)





Or try using Chanel #11...(it was an experimental batch that failed...)

Cover with tinfoil and secure with a rubberband. Poke holes all over the top. Flies will be attracted into cup and die.





Good luck!
