If you've ever accidentally let a bowl of fresh-picked fruit get a little too ripe, then you have one question on your mind: How do you get rid of fruit flies? ("Where are they coming from?" is a close second.) I tested 8 of the most common homemade methods for getting rid of the teeny pests. Here's what worked, and what didn't.

- Hair dryer. This is a bit gruesome. What you do is turn on your hair dryer so the nozzle faces away from the fruit flies. (So the flat end faces them.) The fruit flies get sucked into the dryer and then will roast to death from the heating mechanism. Does it work? Sort of. The effort to chase the fruit flies with a dryer outweighs the number of flies you actually get. Also, most hair dryers have several guards over the flat end anyway, reducing your overall fruit-fly-catching ability anyway. Also, you'll have dead fruit flies in your hair dryer. Bottom line: Bad idea and not worth the trouble.

I tend to go with the getting rid of food and water lying around method so they have nothing to support themselves to make them want to be around myself. :dunno:

Dumb advice. get rid of anything they want. put food back in the fridge immediately, don't keep stupid fruit platters on the table. if you got empty beer bottles, throw them away, or flush them out with water. take out the trash etc.

No! Fuck you and your reasonable common sense approach! Situations like this call for extreme measures!
