As Bristol bakes in another glorious Indian summer it's not just the city's residents who have been enjoying the heat.
The number of fruit flies have been soaring as the hot weather makes for the perfect breeding conditions.
Although they're only tiny, they can prove seriously annoying as you try to go about your day-to-day business - and they're really hard to get rid of.
The pests can lay up to 500 eggs at a time, so if you find several buzzing around your kitchen, it should come as no surprise.
Fruit flies can mate as little as two days after reaching the adult stage, so it's important to try and rid them as soon as they appear to avoid complete infestation, according to our sister paper Manchester Evening News.
Luckily, one woman has shared a brilliant hack to eradicate the insects, and the best news is, it will only cost you £1.15.
Tina Smith, from Dublin, took to social media to reveal how an age-old trick had worked wonders in her home.
Posting on Facebook, she showed how she'd filled a cup with apple cider vinegar and covered it with cling film which had been pricked with tiny holes to trap the pesky flies.
She captioned the picture: "Anybody else getting these horrible little things? I don't have fruit and I'm getting them, disgusting."
Why does it work?
Apple cider vinegar is said to attract flies with its sweetness - causing them to fly in through the holes and leaving them unable to escape back out.
Speaking to RSVP Live, Tina explained how the hack had started to work almost immediately.
She said: "Within the first half hour I had caught over twenty of them.
"It's working so happy days."
