War isn't won in a day
A couple weeks ago, I noticed a few fruit fly's flying around in apartment. At the time I didn't think much of it besides they were annoying so I swatted a few of them and felt pretty satisfied with the one's I was able to get. I was a little concerned because we were leaving for vacation the next day and was going to be gone for over a week, but I thought eh what could happen?
11 days later. I pulled in to the driveway remembering with the thought of Natty lights and boogy boarding still in my head. Nothing could have prepared me for when I opened the door to my apartment.
As I opened the door, I felt like I was suddenly placed on the front lines of war. It had been a hostile orgy takeover in the 11 days that I was gone it went from a handful of fruit fly's to what seemed like hundreds if not thousands everywhere.
I immediately got on amazon and typed in fruit fly traps this was my first result.. I noticed a lot of people suggesting other home remedies. Let me just say... Ain't no body got time for that!! I needed traps and I needed them now.
When they finally arrived, I felt a sense of relief or as if backup finally reached my platoon as rations were low and moral was dropping. I set them up immediately and thought to myself now we have a war.
At first, nothing happened and I was highly disappointed amazon would let me down. I went to bed thinking that night of myself being a huge failure and even thought about just leaving my furniture and appliances behind in the morning because it was a lost cause.
The next morning when I woke up, I noticed a new freshness in the air. As I approached the battlefield, there were hardly any fruit fly's in sight. I went over to where I placed my traps and noticed at least 10 sitting on each trap and the hundreds that were already in the trap.
I had finally did it. War isn't won in a day and Rome wasn't built in one either. As the days trailed on there were less and less fly's and maybe a few stragglers here and there that suffered from the swat of a hand.
If it wasn't for the Terro fruit fly pack I would have lost everything in the Battle of the fruit fly 2016. So to you Terro I say thank you and I highly recommended it with 5 stars.
