Pests We Treat Photo Album: Discovered a Drain Filled with Gunk & Fruit Flies in Princeton Junction, NJ
Noticed Something
During our treatment, we noticed a few fruit flies flying around one of the floor drains. We took a closer look and found a large amount of food debris and fruit flies inside of it!
Attracted to the Spoiled Food
Fruit flies are small enough that they can pass through ordinary insect screens. They are attracted to rotting produce, which will ferment and produce alcohol which they will feed on.
First Part of the Treatment
First, we applied a liquid application and then scrubbed the floor drain out with our heavy-duty scrubbing brush. This application removes the bad bacteria in the drain, which is the breeding ground for the fruit flies.
Now for the Foam
Afterward, we applied a bio-foam solution in the floor drains. This product removes all the organic build-up, odors, and scum inside them.
Nice & Clean
Lastly, we applied a fly bait around the area around the floor drain to exterminate any remaining adult fruit flies.
