fruit flies!
How are fruit flies created? Do they meed a girl to make another fruit fly or can they just produce them by themselves? I don't know how but fruit flies started getting into our house. We have no visable food because we left them all in the fridge and we kill like 10 a day! Just when I think it's the end another one shows up and brings 3 friends! Is there something else i haven't tried yet?
They're driving me nuts, one kept flyign around my head while I was doing homework and I'm just a grouchy person at school these days because of it. I loose my appetite when I see one too!
Thank you so much if you answer this. And i could search up the first questions on the internet but I dont't want to take the chances of seeing pictures of those nasty things.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Not to be slightly sick or anything, but there might be something dead in the house. But of course its only a possibility. I would suggest a Venus Flytrap or some other kind of bug catcher(that doesn't require you to see the flies die). Zappers work but its best to have them outside(which BTW might help). Get something that will kill them off over a long period of time. And if they still show, its best to call your local exterminator and explain the problem. They can give you the best advice on pest control.

hii okay so, ive had this same exact problem and let me tell you...i know exactly what yout going through.
But first let me tell this-
Few Facts About Fruit Flies:
- Can lay up to 500 eggs at a time
- Their entire lifecycle is complete in about a week
- While considered mainly a pest, they have the potential to contaminate food with dangerous bacteria
So yes, they breed with other flies. but as you can see they reproduce rather quickly.
Breeding Grounds: can be spotted around fresh fruits/vegtables, rotting fruits and vegetables, drains, garbage and damp organic materials
Now to get rid of them:
1. Exclusion and Sanitation:
Sanitation is the first measure of defense, even though there are various traps and sprays that are used to kill fruit flies, it is necessary to eliminate the source in order to eliminate them.
The key to controlling these fruit fly infestations is to locate and eliminate their breeding sources.
Garbage cans and dumpsters should have tight-fitting lids and be cleaned regularly.
Drainage will often aid control, getting rid of extra moisture.
Openings of buildings should be tightly screened with screen.
2. Insecticides for Fruit Fly Control: Residual and Contract
3.Trapping : 960 Vector Fruit Fly Trap
4. Aerosols for Fruit Fly Control
