After you’ve cleared the infestation, keep your kitchen dry and your trash covered. A dry dish rack and a clean sink are your best defense.
And next time you bring home a gorgeous bunch of grapes, give them a quick rinse and dry them with a paper towel. It takes ten seconds, but it saves you from hosting a fly party.
You’ve got this. Your kitchen can be a fly-free zone, and you can enjoy your morning snack without an audience. Now go pour that boiling water down the drain—your tiny nemesis awaits.
