Were fighting fruit flies galore, they make it so hard to sit down and concentrate on work. Dumpsters are right out back and they are all infested with fruit flies, we keep zero perishables inside except for the fridge, all food products go directly to the dumpster instead of the trash cans yet the fruit flies are every where! Bought some sticky ribbons and not one fruit fly has stuck yet waste of f-ing money. Could Bug Bomb but with the dumpsters out back they will return in one day.

Mike, take some paper cups, put a little vinegar, like a half inch, and a couple of drops of Dawn detergent, instant fruit fly trap. They love it so much they die...

amazing how fast those little suckers are.

Bleach in the dumpster should help. Get a pesticide sprayer and hit it twice a day in a week you should be good
Mice hate bounce dryer sheets stick them everywhere, behind shelves, corners under press everywhere the little bastards would like to go it keeps them away. Don't cheap out get bounce  Also the best bait to put on a trap,,,, caramel their teeth stick To it so they can't easily steal it from the trap. Good luck

You've invested too much time into this. ;)

I had an infestation problem in my old shop.  I tried being nice and catching them live... but I just had enough.  They would run around us during the day with the lights on.  Hilarious to watch my bro-in-law flip out and my daughter giggle, but we had enough.  I got 3 shock traps... nuff said!

They seem to like bourbon - but its a waste of good bourbon for a fruit fly trap.

Sure you can kill them off in a day or two but to keep them from ever coming back dryer sheets. I worked with a guy who stored campers and everyone always wondered how he kept the field mice out while storing them in , a field,,dryer sheets seems to work great.

i end up fishing them out of the glass...  depending on how far into the night - i end up drinking them.

i have heard of the dryer sheets repelling mice - a friend that restores classic cars uses them when he stores the car and related parts.
