I went to inspect our apple cider vinegar traps to see at least 1-3 dead fruit flies floating in each of my shallow baths. I was quite self-satisfied, if I do say so myself. Though I hope that more will be attracted and die from my traps, I’m still concerned that more eggs may hatch in the coming days. And what’s even more weird: I feel like the fruit flies keep flying into the fridge.. and eventually dying from the cold. So far, I’ve already removed six dead fruit flies in the fridge and freezer. They come for the fruit in the fridge, and then they die. Hmmmm. That is like their version of suicide – entering the fridge and freezing to death.

There are still more, though. I’ve already killed eight while sitting by the window. This is definitely war time.
