We Will Help You Identify The Problem
Addressing them promptly is crucial, as they can rapidly multiply and escalate into a significant issue. The most prevalent types of fruit flies include Drosophila melanogaster and Spotted Wing Drosophila. Their life cycle progresses through various stages, commencing as adult flies measuring about 1/8 inch, distinguished by their red eyes. These adults lay eggs, which eventually develop into larvae. The larvae sustain themselves on organic materials, such as overripe fruit and discarded food in garbage disposals and trash cans. Following this phase, the larvae undergo pupation and emerge as adults, perpetuating the cycle. Employing advanced techniques, we adeptly detect and monitor fruit fly infestations. McPhail-type traps, armed with torula yeast lures, serve as effective tools for attracting and capturing fruit flies, aiding in control measures. Additionally, sticky traps, equipped with spiroketal sex-pheromone lures, play a pivotal role in population monitoring and pinpointing breeding areas. Through these methodologies, we accurately gauge the severity of the infestation, enabling us to customize our control strategies. At Atlus Pest Solutions, we are dedicated to delivering thorough and efficient solutions for fruit fly control. Rely on our expertise to not only identify the issue but also to expel fruit fly infestations from your environment effectively.
Why Fruit Flies Become A Problem
Fruit flies can be quite a bother in both residential and commercial spaces. They have a strong affinity for food sources such as overripe or rotten fruit, fermenting foods, and fruit juices, as well as damp spots like trash bins, pet areas, and drains. These tiny pests are particularly drawn to the sweet aroma of ripening fruits, quickly congregating to feast and lay eggs. Additionally, they're fond of fermenting substances rich in sugars or yeast. Moist areas, where a thin film forms, are perfect breeding grounds for adult fruit flies, making them particularly attracted to such environments. These insects can find their way into homes through small cracks, gaps, window screens, and even alongside fresh produce. Effectively controlling fruit flies involves the removal of their attraction sources, sealing entry points, and implementing preventive measures. Seasoned pest control professionals, such as those at Atlus Pest Solutions, are well-equipped to tackle fruit fly issues promptly and put measures in place to thwart future infestations.
