Glenn I had the same problem a little while back. I had to bought a bunch of oranges and put them in the refrigerator since I had room there and I wanted to keep them a little longer. A little while later I noticed a bunch of fruit flies many of them dead since I keep my fridge around 36°. They weren't too happy.
Tim's got it right. That's what I did apple cider vinegar and a cup mixed with a little honey and dish detergent the first time I put a cover over in punched holes in it with cellophane. The second time I didn't bother with the holes in the cellophane they work just as well either way. I used one of those little yogurt bottles that holds a few ounces. It was annoying for a little while that's all. You're not going to get a disease from them. They're not going to bite you. Now I usually wash my oranges and take them out of the package. The eggs are on the fruit.
Mine happened before Mexico so my guess is the little buggers were illegal immigrants something to the US and then I brought him back in New Mexico LOL. It seems they didn't fill out the proper paperwork. Either way they all died.
Fruit flies no problems. Now the stink bugs that I brought down from Georgia I believe, those took me months to get rid of. Don't know where they were hiding now but every once in a while there they were. They got a first-hand look at what my black tank looked like. But then I had to watch this stink off my hands.
I don't usually worry about the bugs I can see, it's the one's you can't that really will get you😁.
