Yikes! Co-owner of Done Right Pest Solutions, Megan Wede shares that fruit flies lay about 400 eggs at a time and they're attracted to specific items in your kitchen. 🤢
So, where should you be on the lookout for organic material besides in your fruit bowl? Damp spaces are one area to keep an eye on."Organic material or bacteria can grow in damp places," says Wede."This includes dirty dishes that pile up, but also includes mops, buckets, and other cleaning products." Another place to keep in mind is your recycling bin, as some bottles and cans could have little bits of liquid in them that can attract insects.
If you have a garbage disposal, it can also attract pests. To prevent fruit flies from accumulating, Wede suggests putting cut-up lemon pieces down the garbage disposal."The high acidity of the lemon should help kill off any fruit flies, flies, and some organic material," Wede says."Plus, it helps your kitchen smell lemony fresh!" Use a lot of water when you run the garbage disposal with lemon, and operate it for longer than you usually would.
