Fruit Flys?

[Redstorm1721]

:confused: What can I do about the fruit flys I see in their room? I change their cage floor everyday. When they have foods that fall on the floor of their cage. I scrub it down once a week. But I believe its the time of the year for the flys and I hate it. They are very small and almost look like a tiny fly?Any ideas? Thanks

Freeze dried fruit.

u can get them yellow sticky pads! they get attracted to the yellow colour then fly onto it and then get stuck!! thats what i do cause i hate flys etc goin into my aviarys!!

Are you afraid your birds will get stuck on the paper as well.

That sounds great!!!!!!! I will put it on top of the cage! Thanks for the great idea. I also heard if you take a glass of water and add some soap det. They are also attracted to that. For some reason they see the reflection and dive right in!!!!!!! also works for big flys! Thanks again!!!!!!

...but couldn't your birds get onto the sticky trap and get stuck themselves? It's a good idea, but if one of your birds got to it somehow, you'd have a horrible time trying to get it off! Have you tried Camicide? It's safe around birds, and they even sell it at a few of the bird stores around here.

No I have never tried it? But I would (NEVER),put the sticky paper where they walk. This would go where they don't go. Thanks for the info Gail
