August 11th, Monday morning.

www.google.se. Search words: “How to kill fruit flies”. Results: a 2-hour decontamination session.

We have a sanitary situation at work. I’m severely grossed out by this and it makes my skin crawl every time I approach the vicinity of the kitchen area. By googling I found that these nasty little bastards lay 500 eggs. A week. That’s 71, 4 repulsive baby flies a DAY. Gotta give them cred for their reproductive system though.

Also it kind of figures how the little colony from Friday has turned into a civilization on Monday. Evolution sure confuses me, but I’m certain they have little grocery stores, kindergartens and residential areas down our drain. 

Anyway, no problem comes without good. Creativity now flows at the office. The kitchen is spotless. One killing technique after the other is tested, reviewed and accepted or declined. The situation has called for heavier artillery than taking the garbage out daily. Equipped with a cyclone vacuumer I walk the perimeter every five minutes obsessively sucking ‘em in. Our home-made traps of water, fruit juice and washing-up liquid are carefully placed to ensure maximum impact. We’ve even thought about a penalty program for those not following the preventive measures.
