Here's a video walk around on our property showing some of the fruit and vegetables we're growing plus a look at our poultry etc.
I don't think it's the heat that deters the fruit fly, unfortunately. I guess that the flesh on the hot chillies (or mild ones) is too thin for the maggot to grow successfully so the fly doesn't bother stinging the fruit.I wonder whether you could discourage fruit fly from the other fruits by spraying some kind of diluted chilli mix onto them, so they think they are all chillies and steer clear of them
