Some of you may remember my lovely fruit fly infestation. The vinegar trap that Listie suggested worked great, but I was worried that I was attracting fresh fruit flies with the bait. Plus, the sight of a bunch of drowned fruit flies was skeeving me out just a little. So I googled the problem (what the hell did we ever do without google?), and several sites suggested placing basil in the kitchen, as it repels fruit flies.
Not so much.
I got a big bunch of basil, broke off some sections, and scattered it around. Those little bastard fruit flies were hanging out on the basil, all, like, "Yay! A new place to party!"
F*ck.
I mean, at this point, there really aren't that many of them left, it's just the idea of the little buggers that's pissing me off.
Lucky for me, I'm moving soon. I hope the fruit flies don't decide to come along.
I think we actually talked to people in person before Google. And we had a lot less trivial knowledge. I'll trade you raccoons for fruit flies. I haven't seen 'em yet, but since I planted some vegetables, I'm sure they'll find their way here.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what we'd do without Google.
ReplyDeleteWe check everything and settle all arguments by Google.
And we still talk to people!
