    Fruit Fly Follies

    Fruit flies are being reported and found in many offices on the first floor of a modern four story suburban office building. There is an employee cafeteria inside the building. The primary source of the fruit flies is a very large trash compactor that is located completely within the building in an area where the temperature rarely gets below 55 F. Fruit flies have been observed streaming out o...

    Laying On The Regulations?

    With the restrictions on the use of pest control products in areas where they will eventually end up in a water source, how do you recommend treating for small flies living in commercial kitchen (school kitchen) grease traps? I have such a problem where the flies are finding their way from the trap to the kitchen.

    Time Flies Like the Wind, House Flies Like Garbage

    I have an account that has a problem with house flies. No dumpster is within 40". When they wash the floor the water drips through the floor and sub-floor. I am sure that food particles also make the voyage. The areas above and below are the areas with the flies. What are the chances that the flies are breeding in between the floors?

    Little Flies, Big Annoyance

    I have a restaurant that recently called about a small fly infestation. When I arrived I noticed a lot of tiny black flying insects that seem to stay up towards the ceiling and stored items on their shelves. I believe they are fruit flies. The room is 5 feet wide by 10 feet long and 8 feet high with the dish washing sink, water heater, two fridges and cleaning supplies. I placed vinegar traps a...

    What Kind of Little Fly?

    We have a customer that recently had the black worms coming up in his commode identified as "black scavenger fly larvae" or Sepsidae larvae. We are unfamiliar with this fly species. Would this infestation be treated like a drain fly infestation?

    Maggots By The Millions........Well, Hundreds

    I have an account that has maggots in the cracks of the concrete next to the building. The maggots are in the hundreds. The compactor is in the same area. I have treated the crack with a microencapsulated product which did not work. I have not dealt with this issue before and do not know where to go from here. Some guidance in the treatment would be greatly appreciated.

    Got the Flies, Got No Reason

    The earlier this year I received a call to treat a house for flies. When I got there I did an inspection and found quite a few green flies all dead on the window ledge. I know that green flies associate with something dead. I also know that the green flies that go after a dead carcass are rather large, but the green flies I found are about half the size of the large ones. In any event I did a t...

    Rice That Wiggles

    I need help. I have maggots in my kitchen for the 3rd time in two years. I see flies all the time but never more than 5 or 6 at a time. I know the life cycle of a fly, but don't they need rotton food to lay their eggs? Please help.

    Horsing Around By The Pool

    I have a customer who is having problems with Horseflies around her pool. She lives in a rural area with no livestock within a mile or so. The pool is painted white with a slide that is also white. The flies seem to be attracted to the slide area. The pool water is treated traditionally with chlorine. The cutomer does not want to use any type of sticky traps. Any suggestions?

    Flies and Filth

    My question concerns drain flies. An account has had them for awhile. It is a sand filled slab with sewer pipes running under it. I cannot find an obvious source for the infestation. I injected in the wall void but realize that this alone will not solve the problem. Neither the mens' room nor the ladies' room have any signs of the flies. Is scoping the drain what should be done?

    I have a restaurant customer that has a large outdoor patio. Would using Bio-mop as a surface mop agent cut down on the organic material enough to make a difference in the fly population if I use fly bait along with it in critical areas?

    SQF Inspection

    We are getting ready for our 1st SQF 2000 audit and they require all our doors be fly-proof. So, we have self closing doors that have a tight seal. Do you think we will be required to have air curtains on all our external doors? Thank you for your time.
