Restaurant Has Dirty Drains & Fruit Flies in Beach Haven, NJ

After noticing a rather large amount of fruit flies infesting his kitchen, this business owner in Beach Haven, NJ called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. As we began inspecting the kitchen, we noticed that several of the floor drains were overflowing with gunk and discarded liquids. As we continued our inspection to the sink room, we found several more dirty floor drains! This is what was contributing to the fruit fly problem!

For treatment, we applied a liquid application to all the floor drains and then scrubbed each one of them out with our scrubbing brush. Afterward, we applied a bio-foam solution into each one of the floor drains. This application removes the organic build-up, odors, and scum in the drains, which the fruit flies breed in. Next, we treated the high infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult fruit flies that were still flying around and then 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. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the fruit fly activity and apply any additional treatments if necessary. Before we left, we spoke to the owner and mentioned a couple of sanitation procedures to put in place in order to prevent any future infestations from fruit flies or any other pests.
