Fruit Fly Season Is Here

Well the population of fruit flies are beginning to build here in my pest control office. Yes, I can’t seem to eliminate them either. Fruit flies eat fruit (fresh or ripened) and vegetables and fermenting products. Their entire life cycle only lasts about 25 days. These flies hang out around the kitchens, garbage cans and beer bottles. Fruit flies are also capable of breeding in decaying meat, wet laundry and spilt sugary drinks. The first step in addressing a fruit fly infestation is getting rid of their feeding and breeding grounds. Fruit flies also use dirty sink drains as breeding grounds. Bacterial digesters available at retail stores can be used to pour down infested drains. Although totally purging the life cycle of the fruit fly may require several treatments, the absence of food will ultimately cause them to croak out.
