By attosa

Plastic Bottle Fruit Fly Trap - finished trap with a floating flyWe have tried many things to get rid of fruit flies in our home, and this is hands down the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way.

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
I was working at the grocery-store checkout counter, and a woman and her son came through the line. The son unloaded the cart. Two eggs in a carton had been cracked, and half a loaf of bread had been mysteriously crushed.

His mother chided him, remarking that she would have to make French toast with the injured items.

He looked properly repentant until his mother walked off. Then he whispered to me, "A friend told me to try the broken egg/squashed bread routine. That's how he gets his mom to make French toast for him!"

I'm getting power from the circuit breaker panel, but nothing to the switches.
