We have hundreds of new employees in the office. They started flying around last week. At first, we didn’t know where they come from. This week we found the source. A co-worker two cubes away has been out of the office for about three weeks now. He had a plastic bag of rotten veggies on his desk. Now the veggies are gone and the flies have stayed.

So my plan is to be the office hero and get rid of our new friends. Today I built my first fruit fly trap. It was actually pretty easy.

FRUIT FLY TRAP DIRECTIONS

Supplies needed: Plastic Cup, Banana, Saran Wrap, Rubber Band & Pencil

Step 1: Place the banana in the plastic cup
Step 2: Cover the cup with saran wrap
Step 3: Secure the saran wrap with a rubber band
Step 4: Use the pencil to poke tiny holes in the saran wrap
Step 5: Hide the cup
Step 6: Wait one week
Step 7: Throw the cup away

Thanks James for telling me how to build a fruit fly trap.
