Kitchen science! We seem to be back into fruit-fly season. We usually get 'em under control with an apple-cider vinegar trap. Just a jar covered in plastic with a few holes.
But I thought I'd see if there are more effective liquids to attract them. So I've surrounded the counter-top compost w six choices. Updates pending.
1. Apple cider vinegar
2. Chinese dumpling vinegar
3. White wine
4. Japanese sweet Mirin
5. Balsamic vinegar
6. Maple syrup in white vinegar -
small update:
compared to the "official" local radiation measurement by Deutscher Wetterdienst my device showed slightly higher values.
@nocci found out that the conversion rate for the #J315 tube inside the #GeigerCounter housing had to be re-evaluated and fixed.
Now I am using 0.0065 and my values are down to the values the official station is recording.
