[Gpdd] CARE - fruit flies an how to get rid of them

[Horsesaavy82 at aol.com]

Hello everyone and every piggie, I have a question, we had a  huge fruit fly 
infestation, we removed all animals from the house and sprayed,  and 99 
percent of the flies are gone, and we are also taking extra percautions  not to 
leave anything to attract them, such as covering the trash so they don't  go in 
it. But it seems that they won't leave the guinea pig cage! I have been  
cleaning the cages daily, but since I use carefresh, it gets pretty expencive. I  
wondered if anyone else had this problem, and if they had any advice on how to  
repel them. I read on Peter Gurney's site, and there are different natural oils 
 you can use, but I am not sure were to find these oils?
 Another idea, I wanted to know if I could use aspen bedding, and put  a 
layer of carefresh on top, to save a little money on bedding. I am allergic to  
pine and cedar, and wouldn't use them anyway, but I heard aspen is better, but I 
 know everyone on this digest knows more about it.  Thank you very much  
everyone!
 Ming Ming update - she is still growing...I am getting excited about  her 
babies...I have never seen babies before, so of course I'm still researching  
everything I can.
Have a great WHEEKend!
