are these a fine mesh that one could use to protect fruit from flies?

I think it would protect fruit from regular sized flies, but little gnats could possibly get through

No these are not quite fine enough, however if you search the site for a muslin produce bag, those are quite sturdy and should protect the produce from flies.

Yes it would be perfect the mesh is very fine only a flour like substance can go through it.

I haven't had a problem with fruit flies. However, I use them for potatoes and onions which I think do no tend to attract these critters.

The mesh is about 2" square, so it would keep out larger birds like Jays and Robins. Maybe a small finch could squeak through. I use it as netting to protect my chickens from hawks. I have tried cheaper netting, but this stuff is much better quality and lasts much longer in the sun.

I've used them on strawberries, melons, and bananas. I think they would even go through the skin on an apple.

I am not really familiar with fruit flies but this little step can does fit pretty tight. I have never had any problem with any kind of bug getting into or arround the can.

Yes, it's a tightly woven mesh, and these help with this annoying problem. As long as you make sure there is no other uncovered food source for the displaced flies to go to, they will eventually die out.

It is mesh. I have several of these and they are wonderful. They work great at keeping the flies out. Both sides lift up for easy access. They are easy to put up and take down.

No, its very sealed, and the screen mashes are very little maybe fruit flies would be able to pass trough, or if the frame is a little bended and creates a small gap.

Definitely will keep the fruit flies out. But some are saying that they can crawl underneath, where the bottom of these touch the tabletop...I had no problems with insects getting in though.

It is very fine mesh and would probably work well... I use it for all kinds of things from straining tea to cleaning berries etc... very pleased with it...

The mesh is not very fine at most it would filter semisolid pulp for example but that may not be enough for your needs. Try a nylon stocking.

We have had no problem with fruit flies with this container (we have had this problem in the past with previous containers). We keep the lid on and take it outside to the main compost area every couple of days.

I am using the netting on my fruit trees, so I can't answer your question, sorry.

Yes. But know they are made of plastic, and will stain. However the mesh really isn't fine enough for fresh juices. I'm using it to keep flies out of my kraut fermenting as it catches almost no fiber after going through my vitamix

I don't see why not. They're decent cutters. Just be sure not to slice the fruit too thickly as it's the devil's own work to get stuff out of these cutters with a food pick if the food is thick.

I would think that fruit flies could enter the bag. Even if the weave is tight enough to restrict them, the draw string top doesn't really provide a good enough barrier. These are some of the highest quality bags that I could find - use them for green coffee beans but couldn't be sure about produce and different types of produce would make a difference also.
