Eliminate fruit flies from your house without the use of pesticides

Eliminate fruit flies from your house without the use of pesticides

Posted on September 1st, 2009 qbit No comments

If you’re like me, you’d rather have insects in your house than spray neurotoxins in it. People who have kids especially should avoid the use of chemical pesticides.

Fruit flies are annoying though, and you don’t have to live with them. Here’s a very effective and non-toxic way to trap them:
Take a 4″ high wide mouth glass jar (like from salsa) and put about 1/2 inch of the following mixture in the bottom of it:

1 tbsp sliced or mashed raisins
1 tsp baker’s yeast
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp water
1 tiny dab of dish soap (to reduce surface tension of the liquid so fruit flies get trapped and drown)

mix these things up in the bottom of the jar.

create a paper cone and tape completely along the seam.

put a rim of tape around the outside edge of the jar (sticky side inward), so half of the sticky part is on the rim of the jar, and the other half is sticking up over the rim of the jar

cut the tip off the cone to make a dime-sized opening

cut the top so that the funnel just sits down in the rim of the jar

fold the tape over the edge of the paper to seal the edge of the funnel to the rim of the jar

be sure not to get the paper wet or the fruit flies may not go all the way into the trap.

make several of these if needed and place them in the kitchen and near house plants.

clean all rotten fruit and wipe counters. it may also be necessary to pour a bit of bleach down your sink drains and let it sit for an hour or so, because they can lay eggs in the drains

This is a totally non-toxic way to eliminate a fruit fly infestation,. Make as many of these traps as you think is necessary to cover your whole house. 2 of these traps managed to trap hundreds of fruit flies in my 3 bedroom, 3-story house and within a week they were all gone.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley (1932) ♥♥♥♥♥ In this mesmerized, technologically, pharmacologically-controlled society of the future, a person's caste is predetermined before birth. The ubiquitous drug Soma suppresses emotions. Only "savages" dare live outside this system. Aldous' brother Julian Huxley was the first Director General of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

Underground History of American Education - John Taylor Gatto ♥♥♥♥ This is a fascinating and detailed book about the origins of compulsory public schooling in the US. Interesting read especially for those with school-age children.

The Fluoride Deception - Christopher Bryson ♥♥♥♥♥ Everything you ever didn't want to know about the history, politics, fraudulent science, and adverse health effects of water fluoridation. Health effects of ingesting fluoride include Skeletal fluorosis, brain damage, bone cancer, and disruption of the endocrine and reproductive systems. 98% of Europe does not fluoridate water, so why is the majority of municipal water in the US is fluoridated with poisonous fluorosilicic acid? Why are we using impure imported chinese product?

1984 - George Orwell ♥♥♥♥♥ One of the quintessential works of dystopian fiction. Combines themes like mind control, propaganda, torture, and heirarchy with a depressing love story. Orwell's society is controlled with violence and fear rather than the drugs and social engineering of Huxley's Brave New World. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell (Eric Blair)

Trance Formation of America - Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips ♥♥♥♥ Cathy O'Brien claims to have been a victim of the CIA's MK Ultra mind control; used as a drug mule and sex slave to the New World Order elite. What she describes fits with other evidence of MK Ultra, Project Monarch, CIA drug dealing, and the New World Order agenda. If Cathy and Mark were the only ones coming out with stories like this, it'd be a lot easier to dismiss. Research MK Ultra / Project Monarch for more info.

Terror Storm - Alex Jones ♥♥♥♥♥ There are varying degrees of awareness of the New World Order agenda, or awakeness possible. I was awake before watching this movie, but it propelled me to a new level of understanding. Terror Storm is a historically accurate analysis of government sponsored false flag terror - terror attacks that have been carried out by governments and blamed on enemies as pretexts for wars and policies that would otherwise not be accepted. Even those of us not yet exposed to this information may have our suspicions about certain terror attacks, but this ties it all together. It's packed with documented, declassified, historical evidence. If you only watch one of Alex Jones' films, this should be it. But after watching this one you'll probably want to watch them all.

The Corporation ♥♥♥♥ Mikela J. Mikael (Actor), Rob Beckwermert (Actor), Jennifer Abbott (Director), Mark Achbar (Director). Charts the spectacular rise of the corporation as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our everyday lives. Features include illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn ... as well as corporate honchos, whistleblowers, and business spies.

Endgame: Blueprint for GLobal Enslavement - Alex Jones ♥♥♥♥♥ This film explores the agendas and people controlling modern fascist and socialist governments. Eugenics, population reduction, propaganda.... what is the ultimate goal? What is the endgame?

Loose Change - Final Cut - Dylan Avery, Jason Bermas, Corey Rowe ♥♥♥♥♥ The final cut of the original 9/11 documentary. Covers controlled demolition of WTC7, 1, and 2, pentagon inconsistencies, and flight 93 shoot-down. Dylan, Jason and Corey were in high school when they made this video, but the production is top-notch. Perhaps the most widely downloaded film of all time, it has awoken millions to the real perpetrators of the world's deadiest false flag terror attack.

Dietary Supplements

Herb Pharm Saw Palmetto 4 Oz
Some people say saw palmetto oil supports healthy prostate function. I tried taking the stuff orally in capsules and found it did not agree with me. However in my opinion when massaged into the scalp nightly, this oil reduces the effect of di-hydroxy testosterone (DHT) on hair follicles, and the hair loss associated with it. Your experience may differ. I'm making no promises but I've been rubbing saw palmetto oil onto my scalp before bed at night for about 3 years, and I still have the same amount of hair now as i did then, which is most of it. 1oz bottle also available but 4 oz is a better value.

Gaia Herbs Oil of Oregano
Some people, including myself, believe oil of oregano has anti-viral properties. I take one capsule 3x/day any time I start to feel a respiratory infection. Top quality, supercritical co2 extracted oil (no petroleum solvents used)

Sovereign Silver Colloidal Silver
Silver is a natural anti-viral/anti-microbial, and anti-coagulant. Very well tolerated when used in moderation. I use this in combination with oregano oil to treat viral infections

Pomology Prostate PM
I can not recommend this stuff highly enough to anyone with BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia). WIth prostate cancer in my family, BPH was an early warning that I needed to find a long term, natural way to keep my prostate healthy. I'm happy to report I've had no recurrence of BPH since using this product daily for about 1 year.
