Thumbs up a battle fought and won Tuesday -- stay away if you do not like hearing about bugs

Hi,

Hubby left me a note indicating he hoped that I would take care of the bug problem that had mushroomed in the last two or three days and that we were trying to ignore.

They were little tiny flies that liked fruit but other rooms in the house as well. I researched what they might be and how to get control
http://lifehacker.com/5826486/how-to...of-drain-flies
I am not sure what kind of bug they are but I learned that they might be living in the drains.

I mostly followed some of the instructions in the above link.

I poured a pot of boiling water down each bathroom sink.
Then I set out three bowls of a mix of agave syrup, vinegar, and dish soap (I used agave because we did not have apple or orange juice or any thing sweet).

The are only eight live bugs in my bathroom still flying around and probably a few in other parts of the house.

But there are well over a hundred dead in the agave-vingar-soap mixture.


Now I rest.
