Filthy drains house flies in Woodbridge, New Jersey
This restaurant had several sanitation deficiencies that caused this infestation. First, their drains contained souring food materials. Even though we don't think much about the build-up of food and grease in our drains, this material is just as attractive to scavenging fruit flies as the food we leave out on the counter.

To treat the infestation, we applied a residual/growth regulator mix to the infested areas. However, for long-term pest control, we informed management of the sanitation deficiencies that needed to be corrected. Needless to say, restaurants or any business involved with food preparation must be vigilant about establishing and following strict sanitation protocols. Those that don't will inevitably find themselves with fruit fly, cockroach, and other insect infestations.
