I had my best luck in a fruit fly trap with banana peels. Probably because that's what they came in on.
That's why we wash the bananas. It's also cut down on the tarantulas.

I'm having this sense of deja doodoo that last year about this time I was complaining about the same flies. Several nice people then gave me answers, which I obviously promptly forgot.
Vinegar, honey, banana peel. Got it.
First time there is a tarantula will be the last banana ever....

I remember my one uncle telling me about the tarantulas amongst the bananas when I was a kid. He was an engineer on an ocean freighter.
Not for me Especially since I don't swim.

Apparently they're common with large banana shipments. We only get a few bananas at a time, no tarantula yet, just fruit flies. Am thinking Beagle might like her own tarantula, though she might eat it. They actually make pretty cool pets.
Not around me, please thanks!!! Or snakes or lizards...I like them just fine in their own habitat.

Every year it seems there is a run (no pun intended, but that's what I would be doing) on Black Widow spiders hitching a ride in the bags of grapes. Since we never really need as many as are in one of the mesh bags I always pick a small bunch from a bag with several. As a bonus, any spiders that might be hiding don't hitch a ride to our home!
We tend to get fruit flies in cycles. Right now I have a couple of should-have-been-used-for-bread bananas melting in a bowl on the counter. So far no flies. Better bake/pitch them before I get company.

Have you ever had the experience of patting one? Their fur is so soft and silky. How do I know? The Pirate got one for his 16th birthday from his girlfriend (who became his wife). Ain't love grand.
No, No, no and even HECK NO!!!
