[Highland Park] fruit flies
by Tim 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Here is a simple way to get rid of fruit flies: * Roll a business card into a cone with a small hole at the bottom and tape it like that. Tape it to hold the cone shape. The hole has to be big enough for flies to get through, but not much bigger. * Put a mix of honey, vinegar and a little red wine in the bottom of a small narrow-mouth bottle. Liquor stores sell single-serving bottles that work well. Contrary to popular wisdom, flies love vinegar just as much as they do honey. * Plug the business card cone in the top of the bottle, narrow side down. A little tape will hold it in place. Place it out of sight on the counter where you have flies. Fruit flies will crawl down the cone to get the bait, but cannot get back out again. When it is full or the fly problem is over, take out the cone, cap the bottle and throw it away. Put it in the freezer for a bit to make sure that nothing escapes while you cap it. We bring these out whenever the little flies appear and it works like a charm. cheers, Tim Feinstein

[Highland Park] More Tips Re: Little Bugs
by Jessica Miller 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Wanted to share these additional tips I got after posting about the bugs: __ Get a tall glass and put a little vinegar and dish soap in it Splash some water to make lots of bubbles The vinegar attracts them and they die in the bubbles Cheers, Jim Lillicotch Lillicotch.com/Contact Website Design, Promotion Search Engine Optimization (SEO) "Simple can be Good" ____ Dear Jessica, It is likely that those are sewer flies. To remedy this situation, put a cup or more of bleach into each of your drains as well as in your floor drain in your basement in the evening before retiring to sleep. If they persist, repeat the process. I hope this is helpful. Best Regards, Dan Landis “I Make House Calls!” ------------ My sister taught me this one and it works! Put some cut up or spoiled fruit in a bowl, seal it with saran wrap and poke a few holes in it with a skewer. The bugs get in and can’t get out! Try it over night. Good luck! Melanie Sprenkel

[Highland Park] boys toys
by Erin sellner 21 Oct '11

Hello Neighbors, I was wondering if any of you had any toys that an 8 year old boy would enjoy. We have a foster son and mostly girls toys since our boys out grew those kinds of toys I must have given them away. Now that the weather is not so nice for playing out side, we need more things to occupy him that are not electronic :) So if your sons have out grown any toys- I am thinking things like lego, or match box tracts , and you would like to get rid of them, or sell them for a reasonable price please let me know! Thanks so much Erin
