With the unexpected arrival of warm weather we seem to be plagued by little flies (probably fruit flies) breeding inside the compost caddy.
We empty it regularly (every day or so) and wash it out but the flies are there again very quickly.
I understand that the eggs arrive on fresh fruit and vegetables so there will be a constant supply.
The only solution (wait for it) I've seen advocated is to build a fruit fly trap from a jam jar with a bit of banana skin (because fruit flies like a banana) and some cider vinegar as bait.
Blasting your future compost (or at least the Council's) with fly spray seems non-green.
Any other sensible solutions?
Cheers
