With so many fruit fly infestations reported in households across the UK, people are being urged to follow some simple steps to get rid of them for good. The experts at GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk are offering five hacks to help catch fruit flies and prevent others from festering indoors.
Although fruit flies are not harmful to humans, they can lay up to 500 eggs at a time, making homes across the country potential breeding grounds for even more of these tiny flies. Those concerned about flies breeding in their homes can follow steps that include trapping them with apple cider vinegar and storing all produce in airtight containers.
A spokesperson for Garden Buildings Direct said: “Many people across the country have noticed a huge increase in the amount of fruit flies pestering them in their homes. They often make their way in after being attracted to the scent of fermenting fruit or veg, and then lay eggs in moist areas like kitchen and bathroom drains.
