Echoing the drains comment: they can reproduce in your sink's p-trap. So pour a little bleach down the sink and let it sit, then flush w/lots of hot water. If the trash has been taken out and the flies persist, the sink is prob your source. Unless your office is a complete sty. Ha.

They are also really attracted to CO2 production. Sugar water and a touch of bread yeast will work, or some yeast dregs from a bottle-condtitioned beer. I know you have a few of those around.


Those beers are for medicinal purposes, only. Do you think they would prefer the 2007 or 2013 The Abyss?

Thanks for all the suggestions. We are about to have our own Snowmeggedon over the next couple of days, so I am going to set the trap over the long weekend.

Have the a-hole who brought in the oranges count the dead fruit flies


That a-hole happens to be the VP who overseas HR for the client. I will count the flies for him and give him the report.

Time flies like fruit.
Fruit flies like bananas.
