Pests We Treat Photo Album: Sanitation Issues Causes Drain and Fruit Flies in Sea Girt, NJ
Drain Flies by the Sink
We noticed some drain flies were harboring near the sink area. When we took a closer look, we noticed there was a buildup of food and liquid debris under the sink.
Check Under Your Equipment
We found even more gunk behind the fridge. It's imperative to continually inspect and clean underneath or behind the kitchen equipment (refrigerator, ovens, dishwashers, etc) regularly in order to prevent gunk and debris from building up.
This is How You Get Drain & Fruit Flies
Otherwise, you'll get a severe drain and fruit fly infestation!
Inform Management
We spoke to the managers on duty and suggested implementing a new cleaning and disinfecting protocol. They agreed and immediately began removing the equipment and cleaning the entire kitchen.
Pest Removal
We scrubbed out all the drains in the area and treated them with a liquid product that removes the bad bacteria, which is the breeding ground for the fruit and drain flies. Next, we treated the drains with a bio-foam solution that eliminates all fly-attracting odors. Lastly, we applied a fly bait product around the area to eliminate the active fruit and drain flies.
