Pests We Treat Photo Album: Fruit Flies Fly Freely Throughout Restaurant in Fair Haven, NJ

Several Reasons Why

There were a number of sanitation issues that contributed to the fruit fly infestation, one of which was several buckets filled with grease that were left underneath the sinks.

Food Left Out

There were also several pans that weren't cleaned properly as well as a number of food storage containers that weren't sealed properly. Fruit flies are attracted to ripened fruits and vegetables in the kitchen or wherever food is allowed to rot and ferment. Although these pests can't bite or transmit any diseases, they can carry around bacteria from one place to another and contaminate food.

Sanitation is Essential

Maintaining proper sanitation in your home or business is a great way to prevent pests, like fruit flies, from infesting your building. However, a poor sanitation program always increases the risk of major and expensive pest issues. After mentioning these issues, the owner and his staff immediately started cleaning the infestation areas as well as disposed of all contaminated food.

Cowleys Turn

In the meantime we applied a liquid application in all the floor drains and then scrubbed them out with our heavy-duty scrubbing brush. Next, we applied a bio-foam solution that removes the organic build-up, odors, and scum in the drains.

Bait for Fruit Fly

Lastly, we treated the infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult fruit flies and installed several fruit fly traps. The attractant in the traps draws the fruit flies close and the bait inside the traps exterminates them within moments of contact. In a short amount of time, the business will be free of these annoying fruit flies.
