You might remember my post from a few weeks ago when I asked if anyone knew what this might be:
So I decided to try it in my kitchen full of fruit flies:
Turns out it works for them. 🙄

If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our very cool badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

Really? A bag of water suspended from the ceiling with a coin in it discourages fruit flies? Interesting…

Apparently not fruit flies, but other bugs? Yeah… no. I currently also have a moth, a mosquito, and a housefly ignoring my pathetic hanging bag of water and coins. 🙄

A little juice in a saucer with oil works here. Trouble is, Catticus will drink the whole thing. What kinda cat enjoys vegetable oil and cranberry juice?!? Joey’s cat.

Haha! Yeah, I have traps made of glass jars with shrink wrap on top with a teeny hole. Catches a few. I’m just hoping for cooler weather. 😛

So they squeezed into the bag of water through the tiny opening and then couldn’t get out? I wonder if a canning jar with water and a funnel on top would work as well.

No, they’re not in the bag. They’re sitting on it with their little front feet in their little ears, wiggling them and blowing raspberries at me. 😛

Water and chemicals, maybe. Water and a coin…? I’m not so sure that would work. But, what do I know about such things…

The coins are supposed to be too much for them to look at. Maybe Canadian coins are too polite or something. 😛
