I heard that if I spritz myself with the original yellow Listerine that will work too. I will buy these items when I am out today.<br /><br />DD, I think the fruit flies hide their tiny larvae in the banana skins. I know I am not supposed to, but I keep my bananas in a produce bag in the crisper drawer. They stay fresher and it is too cold for the larvae to hatch. One reason I always wash a banana before I eat it! Then get rid of the peel down the disposal. <br /> <br />If camping, I seal it in a zipper sandwich bag. That is also a good place to hide any names and addresses off mail, when you don't have a shredder with you. Or put the pieces of paper in your dog's poopy bag.<br /><br />When I can, I skin the bananas and freeze them in zipper bags. They can be eaten dipped in chocolate, or made into smoothies.<br /> <br />Happy Tails, and Trails, PennyLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-42810057137635934682012-05-30T12:17:10.516-05:002012-05-30T12:17:10.516-05:00THERMOCELL - I tell ya, there is no other way to ...THERMOCELL - I tell ya, there is no other way to go on skeeter invasions. This sounds like a commercial, but it's not. It's my own experience. We were skepical at first.

Yep, you guessed it, it only took a couple of minutes for fruit flies to show up.

Probably a lot cheaper down there.A couple of newer paintings 2019https://www.blogger.com/profile/10028346910491622624noreply@blogger.com
