As the summer season draws nearer to an end, one expert has shared his tips for getting rid of fruit flies - and reveals one of the most common problems isn't actually fruit in your home
With the last of summer warmth slowly fading, Brits are being alerted to a surge in insect woes, including those pesky fruit flies that can be more than just a nuisance as they make their way inside homes more than ever. These tiny critters not only irritate but also pose hygiene issues, and tackling a serious infestation could hit your wallet with costs up to £260 for pest control services.
He continues, highlighting that this method not only kills the fungus but also eradicates fruit fly eggs and larvae as the soil dries. For persistent problems, he suggests using an indoor-friendly insecticide as a soil drench to eliminate both the fruit flies and fungus. "All you need to do is mix about a shot glass full of apple cider vinegar with some washing-up liquid and place it in a container - anything with a narrow opening and a wide base is ideal."
