How do you get rid of fruit flies without trapping them?

Question

Tell me please I'm desparate, tis for my dad's work place Lol

Answer 1

I find fruit fly is usually attracted to ripe fruit or alcohol, i have found them in my compost bin in the garden, A friend of mine has  a food shop and sometimes he finds them around damp wood i.e wooden worktops on top of a sink, that is constantly wet, I would suggest washing the worktops with bleach every night and dry as much of the dampness as he can,or spray with a fly spray , not forgetting to wash the top in the morning if preparing food. better still replace any wood with something better.  Hope this is of some help.

Answer 2

Shoot them with a shotgun.

Answer 3

beef up ventilation / air circulation (fans) they do not like the moving air

Answer 4

If they are in the room close all doors and pull the curtains and switch off the lights (means a dark room),then make a small opening between the curtains of the window and hush the flies with the something like a towel or any other cloth.they will find their way in the light through that opening,and fly fly away.:) umi.

Answer 5

My sister had that problem and she was told to pour bleach down her sinks.  (by her exterminator).   Hope that helps.
