Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

That's not very helpful, but it's a nice thought. Some suggestions here:

jno, have bookmarked the page in fact both pages and will have a look later. I feel as though am crawling with the things. I hate insects.

jno, sadist perhaps x

- Hair dryer. This is a bit gruesome. What you do is turn on your hair dryer so the nozzle faces away from the fruit flies. (So the flat end faces them.) The fruit flies get sucked into the dryer and then will roast to death from the heating mechanism. Does it work? Sort of. The effort to chase the fruit flies with a dryer outweighs the number of flies you actually get. Also, most hair dryers have several guards over the flat end anyway, reducing your overall fruit-fly-catching ability anyway. Also, you'll have dead fruit flies in your hair dryer. Bottom line: Bad idea and not worth the trouble.
