Pests We Treat - Food left in garbage brings in fruit flies
Fruit flies can be a problem wherever food is allowed to rot and ferment, so we often find these infestations in homes, restaurants, and supermarkets. These flies lay their eggs in any moist organic material - sometimes directly on the food, and sometimes in hidden places like drains, on appliances, or garbage cans where organic materials are collecting. And these pests are prolific breeders - a single fly can lay up to 500 eggs during her lifetime and multiple generations of flies develop quickly. The lifecycle of a fruit fly is lightening fast, going from egg to adult in about a week.
