Maybe you have good food in your kitchen and not only do you like it but the ants also like it.My grandparents used to have that problem and the main solution was to keep everything sealed up. Ants will be there one way or another, just seal up your food so they cant get into it.

If the ants cant get into your food then they'll make a path to somebody elses place for their food.

For me, it’s fruit flies.
On one hand, I hate them with a burning passion. But on the other, I love mercilessly exterminating them one by one with an electrified racket.

The traps and the hanging things are better than running around with rackets.

I've tried those electro racket things and they really suck, just try traps and those sticky hanging things, the latter ones always work, just replace them once in a while. heck just look you can see how much they catch.

an ex used to always have fruit flies because she was a disgusting hoarder but i did love killing them like some kung fu master one handed out of the corner of my eye. it didn’t work most of times but when it did

it's probably good that she's an ex, hopefully you didn't marry her or have kids with with her, so no ties

Fruit fly traps are just kombucha and dish soap

Small dish with a combo of dish soap, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of sugar

Cover it with cellophane and pull it back slightly so the flies can get in, get stuck, and die. Worked for us

I tried that out a few years ago and it it didn't work out too well, I had to go hard core with the sticky things, that worked for me.

Use kombucha and soap if it comes up again, it's cheap and better than fucking drinking it

I know the easy thing is apple cider vinegar in a shotglass with a drop of dish soap. I’ve done it before and genocided plenty but I have higher ceilings here and they tend to hide up there. I just like hunting those little fuckers. The electrified pop sound is fantastic.
