Those little fruit flies you may see buzzing around in in kitchens have a lot of ways in and they aren’t all linked to the hygiene of your restaurant. Fruit fly eggs are microscopic and can be shipped in on many food and non-food items. Flies can also make their way in through an open window or door. If you think you have fruit flies in your business, it might be time to call the professionals at OPC Pest Services.
Where Do Fruit Flies Come From?
After years of studying fruit flies, research shows that they breed extremely fast in hard-to-reach areas that can sneak up suddenly without showing any signs of warning. If you have a restaurant, bar, a cafeteria, or even just a food storage area you probably have a lot of things fruit flies like to eat. Their preferred diet includes sugary foods, beer, alcohol, garbage, and yeast.
