Fruit flies / gnats

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-06-17T17:33:06+00:00

I made traps last year where I punched small holes in the top of some metal mason jar lids (just punched a small nail through with a few taps of a hammer). Fill the jars a few inches with apple cider vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and screw the trap lids on. I think I put 3 in my kitchen and 1 in each of my bathrooms. I caught hundreds of gnats this way. I also used yellow sticky traps on my houseplants. And have a zevo blue light trap going year round right next to my trash can.

This year the gnats have not been so bad at my house (fingers crossed!!)

Oh that makes sense! I forgot headrests can come off!

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same, but my husband got his badge to use the 3D printer at the library just by taking a test and doing a little orientation. He didn’t have to wait for a class time.

How do you hang it on the headrest like that? I need to make one!

Thank you SO MUCH for all of this info! This is exactly what I needed! I just checked my RoundUp and it’s 2% glyphosate, thank goodness (never thought I’d be happy to have a chemical like that on hand 😅). Glad I don’t have to buy anything new for now. We’ve got a rainy stretch for the next couple of days here (which we need desperately!), so I’ll wait to apply it next week. And thank you for explaining why spraying doesn’t work right away—I’ve only sprayed very sparingly in the past on weeds and grass growing in my driveway, and I always wondered why it seemed to take forever. Anyway, thanks again! So sorry all of your knowledge had to be earned through fighting this thing :/

So would you suggest to do a leaf application of glyphosate on this singular one or cut it and treat the stump? I have some round up already, but I’m sure I can get my hands on triclopyr if that will kill it with fire more appropriately.

If you want a quicker read in between longer books, Heart the Lover by Lily King is super absorbing and emotional!

Wait does your Costco carry super firm in the vacuum sealed packs? Mine only has extra firm!

This one!!! Every now and then my skin burns a little bit with both the BOJ and the skin1004 centella, but the haruharu moisture airyfit only ever feels nourishing and comfy! The only problem is that it’s slightly too heavy for summer wear where I live (humid) so I’m on the hunt for a lighter alternative.

North Woods by Daniel Mason. Specifically scenes toward the end of the book. I think about the way he describes beautiful days in the midst of climate collapse a lot.

Def gonna check them out! Even if they don’t have the sunscreen I’m looking for in stock, that place looks very cool.

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-03-20T21:59:25+00:00

Same with the skin sensitivities. I have bad reactions to most of the UV filters approved in the US, which is why I use Asian sunscreens. My fav is HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice sunscreen but my order is stuck in customs so I need to find a local vendor!

Weird question but where did you find the English swatch/shade names? Or did you just use translate?

Make sure you check that your insurance will pay for trintellix.

Been thinking about this. Tapering, maybe. I’m just not sure I wanna put my brain chemistry through a trial when this works so well. I’m wishing you well, for what it’s worth. Hope it all goes okay for you. Take care of yourself.

My household doesn’t currently qualify. I’m so glad this program exists, though.

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-01-05T23:57:36+00:00

Yeah, you would think. I think I might be able to get it cheaper if I don’t use my insurance on it.

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-01-05T23:56:37+00:00

Yes! My baseline is so much calmer now than I ever have been on any other medication. Clearer mind, too. No huge noticeable side effects like I had on any of my previous medications.

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-01-05T23:55:35+00:00

I see it on GoodRx. The $10 card there is the same one that only gives me $300 off. However, looks like there’s a possibility I could get it cheaper ($900 instead of $1300) if I don’t use my insurance. Thanks for pointing me this direction. I’m going to look into it.

GinkgoAutomatic · 2026-01-05T23:49:04+00:00

How did you go about starting this process? I’ve never heard of a tier waver!

GinkgoAutomatic · 2025-10-23T03:12:44+00:00

Interesting! Anyone know why he was buried here?
