What is fly larvae?

Flea larvae emerge from the eggs to feed on any available organic material such as dead insects, feces, and vegetable matter. They are blind and avoid sunlight, keeping to dark places like sand, cracks and crevices, and bedding. Given an adequate supply of food, larvae should pupate and weave a silken cocoon within 1-2 weeks after 3 larval stages. After another week or two, the adult flea is fully developed and ready to emerge from the cocoon. They may however remain resting during this period until they receive a signal that a host is near - vibrations (including sound), heat, and carbon dioxide are all stimuli indicating the probable presence of a host.[2] Fleas are known tooverwinter in the larval or pupal stages.

What will attract and kill fruit flies?

A DIY fruit fly trap can be a very effective way to deal with a fruit fly infestation. Using these traps should only be utilized after you have found and destroy the place in which the fruit flies are breeding. However, once this has been done, you need to focus your attention on getting rid of the fruit flies that are already present and you need to do this as quick as possible as they can reproduce very quickly.

One of the most effective home made traps is definitely this one and people around the world have reported a great success rate with this method. The good news is that it will hardly cost you anything to build and only takes about 10 minutes to make. You'll need a bottle of apple cider vinegar, couple glass jars, a couple sheets of plastic, something to make holes in the plastic like knife or pencil, A rubber band which can easily be purchased at any stationary store and some house-hold dish washing liquid.

Once you have all these items, its time to make your very own traps. All that you need to do is pour about a cup of the apple cider vinegar into your glass jar and add a tablespoon of dish washing liquid into the mixture. Give it a single shake to mix the soap into the vinegar and then fit the plastic sheet over it. Then keep it in place by strapping the elastic band around the top. Once this has been done, simply punch a few holes into the plastic with your knife, making sure that each hole is no larger then the width of a pencil.

Then you just need to repeat this process to make about 4-5 of these fruit fly killers and then place them in any problem area in your home or office. I highly recommend that you place one or two in your kitchen as I have found that this a very common place in which they are found.

What kind of fruit attracks most fruit flies?

I'm currently doing a science project on this topic and haven't found the exact answer just yet. However, if this helps anyone, fruit flies are attracted to decaying fruits rather than fresh ones because those fruits contain more yeast and alcohol due to fermentation. Fruit flies also enjoy carbonated beverages although that is not a type of fruit.

Definitely bananas. The bright color along with a strong fruit odor will attract them. Just ask any bartender, we always have lemons, limes, oranges, and of course, fruit flies. Any of the fruit in a bar's fruit tray would be a close second for most attractive to these flies. . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Here is the experiment you can do to get your answerr: Get several plastic cups. Use as many fruits as you like to want to test, apple, peach, grapes, banana, orange etc. tape an outer layer of plastic wrap on top of the cup after you depostit a couple of pieces of fruit, poke some tiny holes in the plastic so they can get at the rotting fruit, and set it out on a counter. After a few days, you will see the fruity flies in each cup. When you are ready to quit collecting, take some rubbing alcohol , pour it on the top of the plastic wrap with the holes and cover again with another piece of plastic wrap sandwiching the alcohol between and let no air in so you can kill them off. When they are all dead, count up! ((From Bitter Experiernce, personlally, I find bananas seem to attract the most. Dont know the chemical analysis of a banana vs. a kiwi but you are the scientist, let the world know why and win a Nobel Peace Prize! Good luck on your project.
