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.
