Hi Cheryl - I missed your earlier posts somehow, so a belated Welcome On Board.

Bummer about your Fibro and ME. Fiona finds gardening a great distraction too. Short bursts with plenty of rests in between, although her condition has been diagnosed as post viral syndrome and not full-fledged ME. Not a great deal of difference from what I can see.

Back to fruit flies. The Bright Sparkly one is right - it does not have to be fruit that is the cause. I was stunned to find a minor infestation in our bathroom last week. I traced them to the amaryllis plant that lives there. They were breeding and living in the base of the plant.

Sometimes the little compost bin in our kitchen becomes a breeding ground after a few days. We just put it outside the back door, leave the door open for a few hours, and the fruit flies go away.

On a lighter note - I love this old one:

Time flies like an arrow

Fruit flies like a banana
