Return of the fruit flies

When you let it rot, the fruit flies will come.

On another day in Long Beach, our kitchen was filled with fruit flies again. I thought maybe our place was loved by fruit flies, especially since my roomies preferred to keep all the screenless windows open. As I am preparing food in the kitchen, I noticed the fruit flies were gathering around a particular cabinet and near the ceiling. I open the cabinet and a swarm of fruit flies came out. There was a plastic grocery bag on the top shelf, so I had to climb up onto the counter. The bag contained rotting bananas. I found the culprit. So I tried closing the bag and capturing the flying bugs, then disposed of it. I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't throw my bananas on the top shelf where little old me can't even reach. I hate it when roomies put stuff out of my reach. This was not a pleasant surprise. Thankfully, we haven't had too much bug trouble in Hermosa.
