Bulk Fruit Fly Control

Fruit flies mature from egg to adult in just a week or two and can live for a month or more. What makes these pests difficult to control is their ability to lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetimes. Fruit flies lay their eggs on fruit or other organic matter so that the larvae, upon emerging from the egg, are able to feed. Another thing that makes fruit flies difficult to control is their ability to travel long distances – fruit flies can fly six miles each day and are able to detect strong odors from about 25 miles away.
