Fruit Fly Control
Understanding Fruit Flies
Fruit flies have an incredibly fast life cycle, going from egg to adult in as little as 8-10 days under ideal conditions. This rapid development, coupled with their ability to lay hundreds of eggs at a time, allows populations to explode quickly. A few fruit flies can turn into a significant infestation within a week or two.
Rapid Reproduction: Fruit flies have a short life cycle and reproduce quickly, leading to rapid population growth.
Attraction to Fermenting Foods: They are attracted to overripe fruits, vegetables, and other fermenting substances.
Breeding Sites: They lay eggs on the surface of these foods, as well as in drains, garbage disposals, and other moist, organic environments.
Contamination Risk: Fruit flies can carry and transmit bacteria and other microorganisms, posing a contamination risk to food.
