Okay, I need help, fellow Houstonians. This sounds like a nothing-problem. However, how do you get rid of fruit flies? https://houstonnewmedia.org/okay-i-need-help-fellow-houstonians-this-sounds-like-a-nothing-problem-however-how-do-you-get-rid-of-fruit-flies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=okay-i-need-help-fellow-houstonians-this-sounds-like-a-nothing-problem-however-how-do-you-get-rid-of-fruit-flies Wed, 21 Sep 2022 18:58:58 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=4e4289612cdc986b24e67ccb755fccbe

Here is my situation: * 835 square foot apartment - clean and atypical for pests. * I'm a clean freak. * No fresh produce except in fridge; * Nothing is thrown out and left in the open, and no food (none) is thrown away. I only serve what I Can eat, and eat limited things at home in the first place. * I have no open windows, although my front door has a bit of a gap, I Think. (it needs to be better-sealed) * I clean daily with bleach in all sinks and in my tub. * I never use my garbage disposal - ever. * I do put dishes in my dishwasher, which have food remnants on them, but mostly vegan (some dairy remnants if anything)

I see them come out at night, obviously, when there is not much other light on, and they do land on my plate if I'm eating, or swoop around. There aren't many, but the few I have are probably more like dozens, because I Don't believe I'm seeing only 2 or 3. I've tried vinegar traps, a sticky trap (with a blue light), bleach down drains. I have NOT tried a chemical drain dissolver.

Is this a seasonal issue? Or, am I missing a big problem with plumbing? The ABC PEst people won't even come out because we were told this is "a plumbing problem". But nothing is helping. Help!

I might try to venture outside to watch from Waugh/Allen Parkway - but am iffy because of temps. Maybe it will be too crowded...I've never watched a marathon in person before. Anyone else going to go? (Can you even identify people as they run, if you don't necessarily know their #?)

Someone please ‘splain…the guy "dancing" at intersections near Kirby and Buffalo Speedway…. https://houstonnewmedia.org/someone-please-splain-the-guy-dancing-at-intersections-near-kirby-and-buffalo-speedway/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=someone-please-splain-the-guy-dancing-at-intersections-near-kirby-and-buffalo-speedway Mon, 23 Nov 2020 08:16:54 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=8defd845bda03ef681bb095438603f0c

There is this middle-aged man. He looks like he's not homeless, in that he is well-presented. But, he dances in the most ridiculous ways, makes eye contact with YOU (yes, YOU if you are within 500 feet) -- it's totally funny and sad. I don't do anything, and try not to even get distracted...it's honestly an accident waiting to happen.

His home tends to be Buffalo Speedway as it crosses with Westpark - right next to the Starbucks, but literally at the intersection - like, crossing the street. Also does the mid-street dancing on the side of Kroger shopping center.

When I say ridiculous, I mean...he dances like this guy at :14....and he even looks like him, minus the hat and scarf and yellow tone....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xRv9ZQOCPo

And, he's out there for a long while...not just a quick blip. I know some of y'all have seen him!
