Me literally every time I’m reminded that what I throw in the garbage isn’t instantly teleported out of the house.
Bring 👏 back 👏 in-bullding 👏 incinerators
I just DIY it in my oven.
People have mixed feelings but having just moved to a place with a disposal unit this year has made trash accumulation so much easier. Never realized how much foodstuffs I would throw in the trash.
If you want to kill the fruit flies quickly try to put out a bowl of vinegar, some sugar and a little bit of dish soap. I found this to be super effective.
The sugar and vinegar kinda mimics the scent of rotten fruit which they are drawn too and the dish soap will destroy the surface tension, so that they just drown.
I’ve tried that and found that they will drown even without the dish soap, but the problem for me is getting them to go for the liquid instead of just hanging out all around it.
Maybe remove all the little lounge chairs and add a little diving board?
Put some cling wrap or what’s it called on top too, make small holes in it, makes it more effective in my experience
Similar concept, we use a mason jar with holes poked in the lid and apple cider vinegar inside.
We’ve had good luck with plugin traps using glue surfaces
In all my years of viewing memes, I’ve never seen a Trojan horse facing the left side of the image
You got mad pattern recognition skills
Probably because Troy was to the east of Greece.
I will wash my banana when I get it home. It’s always crawling with pests. One day I will tire of this and then no more banana.
Do you always dirty your banana when you go out?
It’s always getting into holes and hanging with the wrong bunch.
I’ve never heard of someone washing their bananas. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc I’ve heard but never bananas
Yes you should. I was washing mine because of all the fungicide they are coated in while growing, but then I learned from someone on reddit one day that it will clear the fruit fly eggs that are typically around the bud end. You should wash every fruit or vegetable you buy at the store first before eating.
I keep them in a bag that’s tied off until I can wash them, but try to wash them as quickly as possible. The bag can also be a useful way to get the bananas to ripen faster if they’re too green.
This except a Brazilian spider that gives painful erections.
yeah I’m never buying bananas again
Me, on the other hand, will buy even more bananas.
Gimme that spider wood.
Spider Wood, Spider Wood
Makes your girlfriend say she would
Hurts a lot, in your shaft
How are you this fucking daft?
Eat fruit!
Eat fruit for the Spider Wood
Just beat it
Pain for pleasure?
In all of my years buying bananas, I’ve never had this happen. Is this commonplace?
Any fruit can have fruit fly eggs. They’re attracted to overripe fruit, and even though what you bought was fresh, it might have been on the dock next to something turning into wine. I avoid fresh fruit from Walmart because they seem to be particularly bad, but flies are in high end groceries and farmers markets too. Every grocery store is in a constant, if discrete war with the creatures.
They can be quite annoying and breed famously quickly. A friend went on vacation for a week with some banana peels or something in the trash and came home to a swarm of thousands.
Perhaps you live in a cool climate? It’s sub-tropical where I am and the flies usually disappear with the fall weather.
I do live in a cool climate, though it’s not as though it stays cold all year. We still have hot summers, but even then I have never noticed this and I buy produce pretty often. Didn’t even know this sort of thing could occur for not-overripe fruit.
I still don’t know which horse mine rode in with, but there’s not much I haven’t thrown out yet 😐
