My roommates and I try to be good to the environment. We recycle, use green cleaning products, turn the heat all the way off, all that stuff. We even compost.

And that’s where the problem starts. Somehow it escapes us to take out the compost every day or every other day as we should… and things can get a bit gross. Particularly as it has started to heat up in lovely Victoria (finally!), things start to go bad… and I know I don’t have to tell you how gross that is.

All of those factors combined have brought in some new house guests: fruit flies. So small, yet so aggravating. Something about having flies floating around makes your house seem so dirty, even after you’ve power-cleaned the entire place. Trust me, I’ve attempted.
