Fruit flies are obnoxious, unhygienic and simply disgusting definitely not something you want infesting your kitchen or the rest of your home. Once fruit flies get a foothold though, they are pretty hard to shake loose. They multiply at an astounding rate and find sneaky ways of getting around your house. What can you do to get rid of flies infestation as quickly as possible so that they don't start breeding up a storm?
The first thing you can do is make your home less friendly to fruit flies. This consists of cleaning your kitchen methodically and taking out the trash. Then you will want to cover your trash bins as well as fruit bowls. If you can, put your fruit in the fridge, and also clean up any messy bottles of fruit juice or other liquids, and make sure the caps are on firmly. Next check the outside of your house. Do you have anything nearby the walls of your house which could be attracting fruit flies, like old compost or manure? Fruit flies love to breed in manure and compost, and having them reproduction right next to your house is a recipe for infestation. Are your doors and windows covered with screens? Do the screens have holes in them? Repair them as necessary.
Now that your house isn't such an appealing environment to fruit flies, you still have to get rid of the fruit flies which you already have before they breed too much. Get some jars and bowls and put some things which fruit flies like to eat in them, like fermenting old fruit and vinegar or wine. Cover up the jars and bowls using plastic wrap, and then poke some holes in the top of the plastic wrap using a fork. The holes need to be pretty petite. With the jars, you can also try the funnel technique, where instead of using plastic wrap, you make a paper funnel and place it pointing downward in the jar. Both the funnel and the plastic wrap with holes let fruit flies get into your bowls and jars, but they make it tough for them to escape again. Wait patiently till a lot of fruit flies are inside, and then take them outside away from your house and release them. Keep doing this until you've got all the fruit flies out of your home. Hire specialists Pest Control Brisbane Company for the job.
There are also methods that you can use to kill fruit flies without insecticide. Soap-suds kill fruit flies, so if you put some bait in a bowl and then coat it in soap suds you should manage to snag and kill some more. You can also use the extension of a vacuum cleaner to suck up fruit flies which are swarming in a tight formation. Are your plants infected? Try letting the soil dry out (but not so much that it kills your plants). It doesn't take long for the flies to abandon most plants. If it isn't working, water your plants and try something else. If all else fails, you can go with the insecticide option, but since this pollutes your home it should be your last resort.
