First it was bees, now it's pear wine and fruit flies, dammit.

I saw a good thread over at Chowhound on this. The suggestion getting the most raves was dropping a chunk of banana or apple core into a glass jar and covering it with a funnel. Works a charm, apparently.

Ooh; that sounds like a great idea, Board Taurus. I'll try to remember that. We thought we got through the entire season without being bothered by fruit flies, until about two weeks ago. They left as suddenly as they appeared, though, so it still wasn't too bad. Last year we had a horrible amount of 'em. I bought fruit fly traps at Safeway, but they didn't work very well at all.

Good luck, Detroit Hoser, and I'm sorry to hear that Edna got stung!
