DIY All Natural Fruit Fly Killer

 Just A Drop of Dish Soap

There has been way too much rain this month for my usual Full Moon photography.

It did make some short appearances but, avoided my fooling around with the camera.

Spending plenty of time indoors I noticed fruit flies hanging around the kitchen.

 

In Japan, this is what Apple Cider Vinegar in a bottle looks like.

It's been a while since I searched the internet for a natural way to eliminate these bugs.

So, you might want to Google it yourself for recipes.

Here's how it all started. Just put one drop of dish soap in a container.

If you like feeling silly, sing a Mary Poppins song, the pesty insects might like it, too!

The Bottle of Vinegar May Last a Whole Year!

Sometimes I'll put a splash of vinegar on my salad but, not even a teaspoon full.

For the month of December, I'm posting a photo of how many fruit flies have drowned.

 Not bad, considering I spilled the thing once after the first week, trying to count the bugs.

There aren't any more fruit flies buzzing around my apples, bananas, and pears.

Some folks would probably suggest keeping fruits in the refrigerator.

But, that would put way too much restriction on how many beers could fit in there!

Here's a Pioneer Woman's Recipe, I found for you to try.

Have Safe and Happy Holidays!

Today I Found the Stuff Samurais Used to Drink (Photo)

Who Would Have Ever Thought It's Vinegar ?

 

 

The first place I heard about it was from a blogger in Portland, Oregon, USA. 

Andy Hayes, wrote:

"The Japanese Secret to Long and Healthy Living."

 His article mentioned Genki Su.

That would be translated:  Healthy Vinegar

And, he mentioned that it came from some secret Okinawan family recipe.

So, I went on a mission today, to see if I could find the stuff.

BINGO !

The first place, I looked, had what I went searching for, with a little different name.

Spellcheck, ain't gonna like this, I have a sneaking suspicion.

That's a bottle of Vinepple, pictured above.

The one I selected, has honey and ginger, mixed with vinegar.

It's not bad tasting stuff.

From what I could make out of the Japanese directions 100ml a day is the dosage.

So, I figure, that bottle should last more that a week.

If I keep drinking it, maybe I'll live to be a hundred.  If not....

... I reckon, I'll just live until I die !

Kijimuna with a Bug on His Throat Reminded Me

One of those almost productive days happened, today at the office.

Don't ask why but, I decided to clean this place, really good.

The trash, I've been accumulating, got trashed.

Floors were swept thoroughly by moving all the furniture around.

I grabbed a bucket, swab and big jug of vinegar to sterilize the floors.

Then the Sun Decided to Come Out

 

  So, I stripped down to my t-shirt and sat down in the sunshine, smoking cigarettes.

 

Dang, that sun felt good !

It takes a long time for that vinegar smell to fade and, the floors to dry.

So, I went for a walk.

Then the Sun Disappeared

 

Well, most of the puddles from my most mopping job were dry.

And, the stench of the vinegar was fading.

So, I figured it was time to go to work and do a photo essay.

Some of the agencies, I deal with are government people.  Groan.

They give me headaches.

How come I have to: PROVE YOU ARE A HUMAN ?

What do they think my dogs are the ones doing all this work ?

Unfortunately, I never attended Captcha Code College.  Not to my knowledge, anyway.

So, I'm always screwing-up their codes.

Lots of those government folks give you the chance, to listen to the code.

But, that only works if you can hear.

After a few hours of guessing codes and passwords and proving I'm human, I gotterdun.

I hope.

The little praying mantis up there reminded me of something, I forget, sometimes.

Whenever you use slang, it should be explained to those who use English as a second language.

Well, after a day like today, it's time for me to bug out of here.
