Fruit Flies

Why do I have a fruit fly problem?

Fruit flies can invade a home at any time of the year, but the summer and fall seasons are when they cause the most trouble for humans.

Fruit flies are most abundant during harvest season when there is an abundance of ripe and rotting fruits and vegetables for them to consume.

In her short lifespan, a single female fruit fly can produce 500 eggs. Fruit flies have an average lifespan of one week. In one to two weeks, under optimal conditions, fruit fly eggs mature into adult fruit flies, allowing populations of these annoying insects to explode rapidly.

Fruit flies can enter a home through open windows, doors, or ripped screens.

They also frequently infest fruits and vegetables that have already been contaminated with fruit fly eggs or larvae.

Where will I find fruit flies?

Regularly consumed foods attract fruit flies. Fruit flies can't resist fruits, veggies, and sweet beverages.

Consequently, they are prevalent in our kitchens, outdoor dining areas, and gardens. Fruit flies congregate around sinks because they feed and reproduce on the detritus that accumulates in drains.
