| 209.1 | what a hunter | GIAMEM::LEWIS | | Tue Aug 01 1989 11:41 | 4 |
| Most birds will go after anything flying. To my knowledge mosquitoes
or flys will not hurt your little hunter. It is a treat for him.

| 209.2 | Fruit Flies | WITNES::HANNULA | At a loss for words | Tue Aug 01 1989 12:45 | 10 |
| I've been having a problem with fruit flies in my house this summer.
I feed fresh veggies every morning, with seed when I get home from
work. Every night, the fruit flies are around the bird cage. Even
though I discard the left over fruit and change the papers at the
bottom of the cage.
Unfortuneately H&G are too dumb to know that they should be eating
the bugs.

Our house had/has a million of those little $^$%#@.
I am not sure, but I don't think they are fruit flies.
Some sort of gnat. They don't seem to bite but they are
*everywhere*!
Larr couldn't care less. He just wants his nightly Avi-cake.
I'm in Amherst New Hampshire, anyone else have these things?
Anyone really know what they are?

| We've had some succes with using Venus fly-traps! Two small plants
that you can get in any supermarket plant place seem to do the trick
in a medium size room. They're very cheap. You have to keep them
moist. I tried feeding them wet monkey chow when they ran out of
fruit flies. My experience is they eventually peter out but at that
price they're easily replaced. Just don't let the birds get them.
I'm not so sure they're poisonous but I don't want to find out the
hard way.
Good luck,
