I can’t attest to the recurring source of fruit flies of OP but they come primarily from fully grown herbs sold in supermarkets in Finland. I’ve found being vigilant and simply hoovering them up with a handheld Dyson is enough over the course of a few days to get rid of the infestation. Of course, be vigilant with hygiene during this period.


That is interesting. I know someome who buys those herbs in NZ and also complains about flies. How did you make the connection?


Because you can literally see them flying off the herbs when you take them home ;-)
