How do I get rid of fruit flies fast?
Scrub your drains with a pipe brush and hot water, empty and rinse trash bins daily, keep surfaces dry, and use Fruit Fly Defense deterrents near drains, bars, or garbage areas. Our scent-based products stop fruit flies before they start breeding.
Do fruit fly traps actually work?
Traps only catch adult flies. They don’t address the hidden eggs and larvae inside drains or moist residue. Fruit Fly Defense works at the source by making breeding areas uninhabitable.
What’s the difference between traps and deterrents?
Traps are reactive — they catch flies after you already have a problem. Deterrents are proactive — they prevent flies from gathering or laying eggs in the first place.
Where should I place these products?
Use Sink Drops directly in sink drains or garbage disposals. Place Repellent Discs near sinks, trash cans, and food prep areas. For large spaces, use both together for full coverage.
How long do the products last?
Repellent Discs typically last several weeks depending on airflow. Sink Drops can be used daily or as needed for ongoing protection.
Are Fruit Fly Defense products safe for kitchens and bars?
Yes. All formulas use natural, scent-based ingredients and contain no harsh chemicals — safe for use around food-adjacent areas when used as directed.
Do fruit flies carry bacteria or germs?
Yes. According to the CDC, fruit flies can transfer bacteria from unsanitary areas onto food and prep surfaces. Regular cleaning and deterrents help reduce that risk.
What makes Fruit Fly Defense different?
Unlike traditional pest control, Fruit Fly Defense focuses on prevention — cutting off the breeding cycle and keeping fruit flies from ever becoming a problem.
