Meet The Founders

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 residential and commercial kitchens fly-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about natural fruit fly prevention.

Traps are reactive — they catch adult flies after you already have a problem. Deterrents are proactive — they use scent to repel flies before they ever arrive or breed. Our discs and Sink Drops repel at the source, which is why customers who switch from traps see results that actually stick.
Your drain is the #1 breeding ground — a single female can lay up to 500 eggs in the warm, moist buildup inside your pipes. Our Sink Drops coat the drain with a natural peppermint and cedarwood formula that makes it hostile to eggs and larvae. Just 2–3 drops nightly shuts the source down fast.
Cleaning doesn't reach where fruit flies breed. Eggs and larvae live deep inside drains and garbage disposals — areas surface cleaning never touches. Since the lifecycle from egg to adult takes as little as one week, new flies keep hatching even in a spotless kitchen.
Yes. Every product uses natural ingredients — organic peppermint oil, citrus lemon oil, cedarwood oil, and castile soap. No synthetic pesticides, no harsh chemicals. Safe for kitchens, food prep areas, children, and pets. The same formula trusted in Chick-fil-A and Dave & Buster's nationwide.
Each disc lasts 4–6 weeks. The Starter Pack includes 3 discs (up to 18 weeks) and the Power Up Pack has 12 discs — up to 60 weeks of whole-home coverage. Unopened discs keep for 12–18 months.
Yes. Fruit Fly Defense is already deployed in Chick-fil-A, Dave & Buster's, and LongHorn Steakhouse locations. Our chemical-free formula is safe for food service — discs work near draft systems and produce storage while Sink Drops handle commercial drains.
