The one thing that's bothers me is the fruit flies and gnats. Following is a quick recipe to get rid of these pests.

FRUIT FLY and GNAT TRAP

3-4 TBS apple cider vinegar
saran wrap
2 drops liquid dish soap
rubber band

In a small jar, add the vinegar and dish soap. Cover with plastic wrap and rubber band it in place. Poke holes in the saran wrap with a shish-kabob stick. Change the vinegar every couple of days. No more fruit flies.
