Debra h. has a link in her post above to a number of fruit-fly traps, including cider vinegar and dish soap. The recipe calls for only a drop or two of dish soap to break the surface tension of the vinegar. Makes sense to me, though I have always used more dish soap than that...a squirt.
We have found that nothing other than DEET works against jejenes. For mosquitos we find that Off! Extra Duración crema works pretty well. It says on the bottle that it lasts up to 7 hours. Not. Reapply every two hours or so. We pay $43.50 pesos a bottle in Chapala, but I haven´t seen it for under $70 pesos around here. It is usually available at the liquor store here but probably costs less in Melaque.
