I took a large empty wine bottle, placed some ripe kiwi inside of it, then fashioned a cone out of a piece of paper and place the cone inside the top of the bottle. The cone has a very small hole at the bottom so that the flies can go in but cannot come back out. Within 5 days, almost all of the fruit flies were inside of the bottle instead of in my home. I took the bottle outside to the dumpster and released them there. Oh I also had to tape the cone down so that they couldn't move it around if multiple flies pushed on it.

Every fruit on my guava and sapodilla was infected. From web I tried several methods. None worked to my satisfaction until i found a more effective and permanent solution by chance. I grow Oleander flowers for my prayers. I used to find some insects stuck in the flowers. I used to pick such flowers and throw them away. One day I was curious to find what sort of insect was stuck up. Then I found it was fruit fly. I tested a number of such flowers and found most of them were fruit flies. An idea struck that If I could grow Oleander flowers closer to the trees it might be helpful. That's what I did a year ago and when the plants started flowering, my wife started picking most of the flowers for a friend, not listening to me. I sent her to India for 5 months. After three months I found both guava and sapodilla were so good I danced with joy. This method needs no chemicals which are always harmful to our environment. I would like to hear from others who would like to try this method. Ramani A bout a year ago I was at the bottom level of fruit growing. Every fruit on my guava and sapodilla was infected.
