Fruitflies don’t like fruit
Ha! I was right! For years I’ve been voicing my hypothesis that fruit flies don’t really like fruit, they like microorganisms that eat fruit. My hypothesis for this was the fact that very fresh, unbruised fruit doesn’t seem to attract fruit flies, but rotten fruit, wine, and even vinegar does. Well, WFIU’s A Moment of Science agrees, and presumably the scientists who deduced this know more about this stuff than I do. :)
Ok, that’s good - but how DO WE KILL THEM?
