In this manner, how do fruit flies come out of nowhere?
It often seems like fruit flies just appear out of nowhere. You see, when a fruit is overripe or starts to go bad it begins to ferment, producing alcohol, which attracts fruit flies. They continue to gobble up the fermenting fruit, and in the process, lay hundreds of eggs that hatch into larvae in mere hours.
Subsequently, question is, how long does it take to kill fruit flies?

| Anonymous | It takes me about two days. I take an empty wine bottle, put a little wine or soda in, roll a piece of paper into a cone and stick the small end into the bottle. The flies fly into the bottle and can't get out. |

Likewise, how often do fruit flies lay eggs?
Fruit flies can lay up to 500 eggs at a time near the surface of fermenting (ripening) foods or other organic materials. The entire life cycle from egg to adult takes only about eight to 10 days so they proliferate with great rapidity.
Do fruit flies turn into maggots?
Fruit Fly Reproduction Rate Data Eggs are most commonly laid on moist, fermenting food masses such as overripe fruit and vegetables. Within 24 to 30 hours, fruit fly eggs hatch into larvae known as maggots. These maggots feed on the fruits within which they were laid.
