Where do those little flies (the ones that look like gnats) come from when you leave a banana peal out?
Question:
Answers:
I've been in commercial pest control for years and I've seen this time and time again. The gnats or fruit flies believe it or not had already infested the banana stem before you brought them home. If you place the stem under a microscope you will see that it is very porous. They come in from other fruit in the store that is already infested or from out in the field where they were harvested and lay their eggs in the stems of the bananas. By the time you get them home and have let them sit for a few days. The eggs have become mature enough to hatch and now you have a gnat or fruit fly problem on your hands. The best way to avoid this problem with your fruits that have a stem ( bananas, apples, pears, etc) is to of course wash your fruit and cut off the stems the moment you get them home and discard it.
I promise you if you follow these instructions you will not have this problem again!
like all life throughout history, they come from the rotting peel. its transformation and this is where man came from. he just got lucky and figured out how to reproduce without coming from rot, so the animals soon learned through observation and then osmosis to do this too.
Hmm that is a good question, where do those things come from?
Well anyway I at least know their called fruit flies.
Those little flies are fruit flies. They are attracted to most fruits.They only live for a few hours, and only exist through the warmer months. The fruit gets ruined as the flies lay their eggs on exposed fruit.
Yes, your suspicions are correct. The eggs were in the fruit the whole time.
