What's a good way to rid one's home of fruit flies?

 

[Mango Elephant]

Put vinegar in a glass bowl. Next, put some clear wrap over the top of the bowl so it's completely covered. Now, poke some holes in the wrap so that fruit flies can get in to get the vinegar, but they can't get out. They also get stuck in the vinegar. Every other day you have to replace the vinegar (because of all the flies in it).

Remove all sources of food.

If a crocodile steals a child and promises its return if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do, how should the crocodile respond in the case that the father guesses that the child will not be returned?

Is lactose intolerance congenital or can it develop later on? i googled "is lactose intolerance congenital" and I found something saying there is a congenital lactose intolerance but I dunno if thats the only kind.

 

[spryllino]

Lactose intolerance is frequently hereditary and not congenital at all.

Lure them out with bait, and then... HIT EM WITH DC

Actually, might want to try what Mango Elephant suggested.

Those suck hard.
Don't try to electrify any bigger flies or mutant mosquitos. They don't work on them. The big fly only makes explosion sounds without actually harming it (aparently). Electrocuted one 3 times and it still lived - after i saw that i realised it earned the right to live !

Couldn't you have tried putting batteries in a serial (or maybe it's parallel that boosts the Voltage?) configuration?

by congenital I meant "present from birth" i probably used the wrong term

Change its name to Rumpelstiltskin.

That's precisely what 'congenital' means. You used exactly the right word.

I could just try and squish the fly.

I want that electricity to crackle

Well, Mango Elephant's method seems to be working, so there probably won't be any need.

Where's that one thread on the gulf oil spill? The one about the spill causing a giant methane explosion and killing us all? I can't find it.

If it's not on the first page it aint worth looking for.
