Pests We Treat Photo Album: Food is Left Out and Causes Fruit Flies in Morganville, NJ

Fruit Flies All Over the Walls

As soon as we inspected the kitchen, we found a large number of fruit flies on the walls and throughout the entire area.

Food Not Stored Properly

The reason why there are so many fruit flies is because a lot of the food and liquids aren't stored properly and left out.

Exposed Food Attracts Fruit Flies

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.

Dirty Rags

There were also several dirty rags loaded with food debris and dirty sugary liquids that were left out.

Sanitation is Key to Pest Control

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 kitchen.

Our Treatment for These Pests

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.

Fruit Fly Bait

Lastly, we treated the infestation areas with a fly bait to control the adult fruit flies. In a short amount of time, the fruit flies will be exterminated.
