Dat's a fruit fly..fruit flies are bad. Very bad. Find out where they are breeding and eliminate it. I don't think they pose an imediate threat to your weed plants..unless there are thousands pooping everywhere.

depending where he lives , or where his room is located in his house, i mean ive had fruit flies in the summer and it isnt that big of a deal, they come you kill em they go , if he has an infestation of fruit flies than its a problem

fruit fly's don't really cause any problems with me even though i've spotted 1 or 2.

I also get 1 or 2 of these little passionvine hopper moth nymphs every now and then that don't cause any problems:

Best way I have found to get rid of fruit flys is:
Take a bowl
put a cut piece of fruit in bowl
cover bowl with plastic wrap
poke a hole or 2 in the plastic
wait

The flys will crawl around until they get to the whole then enter. They cant find there way out after this. I have seen this set up catch hundreds of flys in a afternoon

yeah i use a glass, little holes with a tooth pick but i put in about half the clear class with apple cider vinegar, it attracts them to it , and they cannot get out
