"re-nest" news and stories

All summer long, I've been buying up bags of tomatoes, quarts of peaches and at least two melons a week. I can't get enough of the sweet flavors and amazing freshness of the produce from my local farms and markets. I have, however, had more than enough of the fruit flies that often tag along with my edible hauls. For the last two months, my kitchen has offered shelter to these diminutive insects and their flitting around is starting to make me feel truly crazy.

Thankfully, just as I was about to round the bend and consider stripping my kitchen bare in order to free myself of the fruit fly plague, Re-Nest has come through with a technique for getting rid of these pests. It involves a cone-shaped piece of paper and a glass of apple cider vinegar and is apparently supposed to work wonders. I'm planning on setting one up when I get home tonight. Hopefully the fruit flies will soon be no more!
