Biology doesn't apply in my kitchen!

When I was at UMBC finishing my biology degree, we would always use Drosophila (aka fruit flies) in our lab studies, for various reasons I really don't want to get into. It was great and i loved it, but Joe and I were recently overrun with these pesky fruit flies and it's not so great. In fact it's really annoying. So I looked up home remedies for getting rid if them and I tried this one that worked! Put apple cider vinegar in a cup or jar, heat up for 10 sec and put a funnel on top, to trap the flies inside. Take the jar outside to release them. Bye bye drosophila!!
