Voila! Introducing the new KrysFlyTray!

Nancy

Hi Krys,
Most of those little fungus gnats are attracted to something that is yellow. You could also try putting a yellow dish with water and save the wine for yourself. Then again if you drink enough of the wine you just won't give a damn about the gnats.

Fred,
I like to think they swim around a bit in the wine, singing bawdy songs before they pass out.

Krystina -

you have

1. Drosophyla - the fruit fly - that's the kind the geneticists are making their PhDs breeding them and counting how many inherited red eyes, short wings or fuzzy whiskers. They are abundant now - because it is so much ripe and rotting fruit outside - think crab apples. If you do not have a food for them at home - they will peter out with the coming winter.

2. fungus gnats - they do not like your wine or apples, they look like moskitoes and their larva lives in your bonsai pots feeding on organic materials in soil and young roots of your bonsai and african violets. That's the ones you want to get rid off. Nancy just recently posted something about watering your pots with a weak solution of the Clorox bleach. Look it up and try.
