1. Until you’ve got rid of them, don’t leave fruit or root veg out cos they attract them regardless of whether they’re going off or not. Put them in the fridge, particularly fruit in a plastic bag as well.

2. Boil water and put it down every drain in your house, to be safe. This is where they lay their eggs so I’d do it every second day until they’re all gone.

3. Keep your bin outside your house or empty is a few times a day, don’t keep any food in it.

4. Do the apple cider vinegar/fairy thing - check YouTube for this and put a few of them around. Keep the windows in the infested rooms closed as often as you can to stop more coming in

5. Buy bug spray, spray it in the air where they’re gathered and/or on plants you have. Also in and on your bin.


I hope this helps, I came back from holiday to a bunch of these in my house and been spending a week trying to get rid of them. Think I’ve got about 2-3 left
