| How do you guys control fruit flies during feeding? Just recently I decided I would put a small hole in the side and shake the flies out then cover with my thumb in between enclosures. But the little buggers climb like crazy. | |

| I just shake them out. But they are hard to control. I drilled a small hole in a bottle cap and placed it on top of the container and just flip it upside down to get one FF at a time. | |

| I would never willingly allow fruit flies into the house and tanks! They seem to do it anyway. I hate them with a passion. Dont come crying to me when they start breeding and you are totally over run by them! xxx | |

| Sounds more like fungus gnats than fruitflies, if they're breeding in the frog tank. Do you have any live plants in there? | |
