What to Do About Fruit Flies in Your Columbia Home
“They came out of nowhere!” is the most common refrain we hear
from our customers when dealing with fruit flies. These insects can be
a problem year-round, but are especially common during late summer/fall
because they are attracted to ripened or fermenting fruits and vegetables
in the kitchen. As they continue to gobble up fermenting fruit, they will
lay hundreds of eggs that hatch into larvae in mere hours (if you ever
went out of town and left a bowl of ripe fruit on the counter, then you
know this all too well.) They can also breed in drains, garbage disposals,
empty bottles and cans, trash containers, mops, and cleaning rags. So
essentially, all that is needed for a fruit fly infestation to develop
is a moist film or fermenting material.
“But all my doors and windows are closed,” you say! “How
in the world could they possibly get in?” Fruit flies are so tiny
that they can enter through even the tiniest of crevices around your home,
and can even fly right through your window’s insect screen. And
you can also bring fruit flies home from the store with your groceries,
if your fruit has already started to rot there. Once a fruit fly invasion
starts, it is paramount the source is located. When discovered, remove
the item from the home and place it in the outside garbage can. Discarding
it in the interior trash can will only exacerbate the problem. Fruit flies
are primarily nuisance pests, however, they also have the potential to
contaminate food with bacteria and other disease-producing organisms,
so never hesitate to call Modern Exterminating ASAP for fruit fly control.
