Yes. They are fruit flies. I think they came from a banana peel I dumped in my trash can. Anyway, they moved in. I only water once every 3-4 days depending on need, and there has been no sign of fungus.

After looking around I found a few fruit fly traps that use smell atrtaction. Safe and quick.

Then again, I have a five year old daughter who loves collecting bugs, including ladybugs. I may have to raid her stash or pay her to collect bugs for me. Somehow the thought of having them naturally disposed of by chewing excites me. I'll probably use a combination of both methods.
OR Freebird Reviewed by OR Freebird on . Fruit Flies I don't like the idea of spraying my plants for pests, but I seem to have a colony of fruit flies living amongst my growth. Safest way to eliminate??? Fly strips?? Rating: 5
