Fruit Fly Defense was founded by husband-and-wife team Donny and Caroline Hayati, who share a passion for problem-solving and innovation. Donny, a biologist from Miami University, combined his scientific background with real-world experience to develop a natural, effective solution to the common fruit fly problem. Caroline, a marketing and talent sourcing specialist, also a Miami University graduate, brings her expertise in branding and outreach to help share their mission with the world. Together, they created Fruit Fly Defense—a simple, science-backed way to keep homes, restaurants, and plant nurseries fly-free.
