Not to change the subject but seeing that were talking about fruit flies. I'm not sure they just live in over rippen fruit. This year I pick several tomatoes that were just turning red, place them on my counter top to rippen, A few days later they would split open with a white fluid and fruit flies would be hovering over the tomatoes. I've always wonder how they found their way to my garage when my wife was bottling fruit, jams or jellies. Now I Know.
