It's a fruit fly horror story.
|
I got home from work today to discover my kitchen was overrun by fruit flies. "What the hell is happening here?" I set my purse down on the counter and the kitchen disappeared in a cloud of black. Well.... Maybe not quite that bad.... But, it was bad enough that I was looking around to see where the source of my infestation was coming from. Any fruit sitting anywhere?? Nope.... Check! Anything in the garbage that would draw a fruit fly?? Nope.... In fact, the flies weren't even in the garbage. Check! Unwashed dishes creating a breeding ground?? One dried up plate, one dried up fork, a coffee cup with a swallow of coffee and 15 dead fruit flies floating in it, but no breeding ground. Check! It was during my inspection of the sink that I did discover, though, the fruit fly infestation is likely originating from my sink drain! Uh... Yah.... totally disgusting. I know what that means when you have a septic tank and well water. That means you have to get your septic pumped. But, what does that mean when you have city water and septic??? I ran a ton of water down the drain then put the stopper in the sink but I'm not sure what to do about my swarm. What do you do with a swarm?? Name it and start charging rent? Wait until their dead carcasses fall from the air and sweep them into the trash? Do they crawl into cracks and crevices and disappear from sight?? These are questions that are haunting me right now. For the moment, I'm avoiding my kitchen, naming my new room mate Brock, and trying to decide how much rent to charge before their lifeless bodies start littering my counter. Happy Wednesday!
