I’m not trying to be ignorant here, but should I not feed the fruit (grapes and bananas) that the fruit flies have been hovering and invading? Where can I put my bananas so that the fruit flies will not invade? It seems like even if I put the bananas under cover, the fruit flies are still prevelant in that covered space. Please help me. Thank you!
