Pests We Treat Photo Album: Fruit Flies Love the Poor Sanitation in the Kitchen in Lakehurst, NJ
Sanitation Issues
As we started to inspect the restaurant, not only did we find fruit flies throughout the kitchen, but also several sanitation issues.
Gunk Filled Drains
Almost every single one of the floor drains were loaded with grease, gunk, food debris, and fruit fly larvae!
Grease on the Equipment
We also found grease on several pieces of kitchen equipment and on the walls. After our inspection, we immediately spoke to the owner, showed him all the sanitation issues, and informed him that his business will continue to have pest issues if these areas aren't cleaned ASAP and routinely cleaned. We were extremely happy that he agreed with us and started to clean.
Cowleys Turn
Once they were done, we treated every single floor drain with a liquid application. This is going to eliminate the bad bacteria inside the drains that the fruit flies breed in. After that we scrubbed out each one with our heavy-duty scrubbing brush. Next, we applied a bio-foam solution that removes all of the organic build-up, odors, and scum in the drains.
A Couple of Check Ups
We then treated the severe problem areas with a fly bait to exterminate the adult fruit flies and then set up several fruit fly traps. The attractant in the traps draws the fruit flies close and the bait inside the traps eliminates them within moments of contact. In a short amount of time, the fruit flies will be exterminated. Lastly, we scheduled a few follow up inspections to make sure that the fruit flies are gone for good.
