FINDING & DESTROYING FRUIT FLIES

If your home has ever had fruit flies, you know how frustrating they can be. These tiny bugs can take over your house quickly. 

Fruit flies are tan with oval bodies, wings, and red or dark-colored eyes. And while they only live two to four weeks, they can produce up to 500 larvae each mating season. So, each day that you avoid eradicating them, you’re likely to see new fruit flies emerge. Since they lay their larvae on easy-to-miss areas such as inside drains or near-forgotten spills or crumbs, many folks have trouble locating the source of the pests. 

Fortunately, our experts can help you find the source. Over the years, we’ve provided fruit fly control treatments in numerous homes in our service areas (the areas in and around Aberdeen, Huron, Mitchell, Mobridge, SD; and South Dakota & Sheridan, WY). 

To locate the source on your own, you can help control fruit fly infestations by:

• Getting rid of ripe or rotting produce where fruit flies can feed and burrow
• Rinsing off any produce to ensure no eggs or larvae are attached to it
• Cleaning up leftover or spilled alcohol, juice, and sodas that fruit flies love to consume
• Taking out the garbage often to eliminate this as a food source
• Cleaning your drains and garbage disposals regularly
• Cleaning your kitchen regularly–especially under your refrigerator behind your trash can, stove, and sink

While keeping your produce refrigerated may help keep them at bay, fruit flies are known to survive even in frigid areas. That’s why it’s important to rinse off fruits and veggies after bringing them inside. If fruit flies are pestering you, call one of our knowledgeable technicians today.
