Fruit flies (Drosophilidae) they are very regularly found in kitchens, garbage containers, breweries, food industry, cafes, etc. This fly is often seen in the warm months of the year with the peak in the summer months. They lay a lot of eggs, between 400 and 900, and their development is super-fast between 8 and 11 days, which can lead to rapid infestation.
Fruit flies can really be a problem especially when they buzz around the bar or fly out of the garbage can en masse. It also often causes image damage for businesses when customers are confronted with these flies.
People associate this fly as unhygienic, and somewhere that is true. These flies sit on everything, creating risks of contaminating bacteria in our food.
Fruit flies feed on fermenting fruit and are also called banana flies. Alcohol also has an attraction for this type of fly, because of the sugar in drinks, and they often fly around quietly so people can find this annoying. Fruit flies are very small, often only 3 mm long and are yellowish brown or mottled with small red eyes. This fly develops very quickly, namely within 11 days, but contrary to popular belief it lives much longer than one day: namely up to 9 weeks. Fruit flies like to seek out as much organic rotting material as possible, such as the Gft container.
