If you vacuum up a fruit fly is it dead?
Assuming typical canister vac with the spiraling flexi-hose, say you pick off a few fruit flies that are hanging around the bananas. By the time it is sucked all the way down the hose into the debris collection bag is that fly pretty much gonna be dead from concussion & air trauma? Or is it stunned and might fly its little butt back out the hose tonight while we sleep and plague the bananas again ?
