Somehow, ladies and pests, we have (according to my son) "hundreds, no, really dad, hundreds" of fruit flies in the house! They really seem to thrive with the AC on at full blast. God knows how many lives I have taken lately. Unfortunately, it has gotten very darwinian in the house...might is right, survival of the fittest and for the flies especially, natural selection is at work. Fly or die!
We're trying inoffensive (to us) methods of killing the little vermints. Vinegar, juices, cider, or some such liquid in a tall container attracts them and they, supposedly, drown after touchdown. The reality is: Sure they land. They struggle. They swim. Check the cup/glass 20 minutes later and they've all -- ALL -- managed to crawl out and have disappeared!
Next stop -- Home Depot, dammit!!
