So my Jacob, he loves to eat his veggies, until fruit flies inhabit them. And it doesn't take very long for that to happen. It is so annoying, beyond all reason.
I have read online that Basil supposedly deters them from flying around. So I have placed basil in with his food. But the only problem is once he eats the basil, out comes the fruit flies.
I also know about sticky fly paper, but I just don't want Jacob to hurt himself or eat it... I can just see it now, I come home and Jacob has the sticky fly paper stuck to his foot or his forehead. :rollseyes
Does any one have any suggestions as to what I can do to get rid of them? I just have to say, I can't wait until it gets cool out and they all die. :X
