Holy Cow SB. Maybe FNW can't help you out with the dog.

FWM you can do the same trick with red wine, in the glass and poke holes in the saran wrap.

Good morning, Good Geeks!

We had a sprinkle in the night. It's humid, but not as hot today. Only going to have a high of 89. 

I hope we get more rain. Fingers crossed.

I need to make a run to Home Depot. Spock tore up the weather stripping on the patio door. And I need to get more poison for the fruit flies. Grrrrr...I hate those little buggers.cry

Have you tried the chocolate covered Oreos, Trudy? They look good, but I haven't tried them yet.

I think Jupiter has a stomach bug. She doesn't seem to be feeling very chipper. Plus, she has the trots.  I think I'll make her some chicken and rice. See if that helps.

Not much else is going on around here.

I hope everyone has a good day.smile

 Weather stripping will do that. 

 LOL! Nope...Spock kills the weather stripping.

Jupie, is innocent. I know!biggrin

This is the work, of our youngest cat.

I call her Stinky, for a reason.

She is a little stinker.wink

 I might have to try that, IKWTDS.

I caught zero fruit flies in my vinegar trap.cry

Talk about disappointing!cry

Maybe, my flies caught the virus, and have lost their sense of smell!furious

I had one in the bathroom. Mittens was going after it. My little bug killer.

SB, I'm sorry your DD got bit. Definitely make them pay all the costs. Here they are very strict with dog bites. I think you said the police were involved. They will make the people put the dog in quarantine.

Oh. And if you have indoor plants, you probably need to resoil them.

That's where they lay their eggs and feed.

LOL!

I don't have any indoor plants, at the moment.

I noticed that they like to hang out buy the bowl of bananas, on the breakfast bar.

I just used my last banana. I think I'll hold off on buying any more, for a week or so.

Maybe I can starve them out!biggrin

LOL A holy terror. GG has a favorite seat. He gets out of it and Mittens goes running into it and fake sleeps. Such a devil!

I've heard banana stems are a source of fruit flies. Google it. I think wrapping the stems with plastic WRP prevents them from hatching.

 Well, now I'm out of bananas. But, next time I buy some, I'll give that a try!smile

Maybe that explains why a lot of organic bananas come wrapped?

Wrapping banana stems has nothing to do with fruit flies. They wrap them so they don't spoil so fast. It's a kitchen hack to keep them from over ripening. Google it.

NJN ~ You're right about the plastic
wrap - it retards over-ripening.

 The little nippers must have a taste for alcohol. 

The wine vinegar is attracting them!
