Now it's backing an EPA rule that would stop the bleeding.</p><p>by Schuyler Mitchell, March 21 2025</p><p>"Last August, 11 industry-friendly red states, led by Nebraska and Iowa, submitted a 436-page petition asking the agency to amend its labeling rules under the Federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Insecticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insecticide</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rodenticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rodenticide</span></a>, and Fungicide Act, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FIFRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FIFRA</span></a>.

That’s something you want to avoid in the kitchen, where you are preparing food. It’s also totally unnecessary and won’t solve the problem in the long term. If you want to eliminate the bugs you see flying, DeVries recommends an old-fashioned fly swatter or a vacuum cleaner, which you can empty outside.</p><p>"You can also trap them. Dellinger says there are commercial traps out there, but you can make one with materials you likely have on hand. Fill a small jar or container with half an inch of fruit juice, vinegar, apple cider or wine, and add a couple of drops of dishwashing detergent. Cover with plastic wrap and then punch a few holes in the wrap. The flies will be attracted by the bait, but won’t be able to escape because the soap breaks the surface tension of the water, trapping the flies. Another model involves a similar strategy of a bait and soap, but you construct it by cutting a bottle (soda, water, etc.) in half and then inverting the top half and setting it into the bottom to create a funnel, DeVries says."</p><p><a href="https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-to-get-rid-of-fruit-flies-and-stop-them-before-they-appear?utm_source=pocket-newtab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">getpocket.com/explore/item/how</span><span class="invisible">-to-get-rid-of-fruit-flies-and-stop-them-before-they-appear?utm_source=pocket-newtab</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalPestControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaturalPestControl</span></a></p>
