Working on your own often does not yield the desired results, because the problem must be tackled at the source.
Therefore, leave the removal of fruit flies to professionals.

Types of fruit flies
There are an awful lot of species of fruit flies, but the most well-known is the ‘Drosophilia Melanogaster’. It is also known as the “common fruit fly.

Tim came to me to fight bedbugs. He is so kind and very knowledgeable. He really reassured me and explained everything well. I’m sure my home is in good hands! Hopefully I won’t have to use him again 😉 but I can only recommend him or the pest control company Van der Velden.

Fantastic service!!! Brandon came on time and worked back to back. Left everything nice and clean. Found a dead mouse after 5 days, no trouble at all. Can recommend this to everyone. Van der Velden and especially Brandon, thank you so much. Merry Christmas and happy and healthy 2024.

Great service and workmanship by Tim.
I could never have controlled the infestation on my own.
He has honor in his work and does not rest until the last mouse is gone.
He even helped me vacuum under the kitchen counter because I couldn’t do it myself.
Very satisfied
When do they cause a nuisance?
The life cycle of the fruit fly depends on the temperature and therefore on the different seasons.
Fruit flies that have survived the winter become active again in spring when temperatures rise.
Females lay their eggs on ripe fruit and these then develop into adult fruit flies.
Summer is the warmest period, which is when they are most active.
They are constantly looking for food and continue to reproduce.
The warmer it is, the faster the life cycle progresses.
In the fall the temperature drops and less food is available, this causes many fruit flies to die.
In winter, they are not active and most die.
Fruit flies that have found a warm spot in your home with plenty of food can survive, however.
Signs of a fruit fly infestation
Fruit flies reproduce at lightning speed, especially when the temperature rises.
Before you realize it, an entire infestation can develop.
You recognize the existence of a fruit fly infestation as:
- Pesky little flies keep circling around the fruit on the fruit bowl;
- Fruit flies appear when you open the trash can, for example.
- Served more than 100,000 customers
- Rated with a 4.0

What are fruit flies?
Fruit flies are small, flying insects that like to prey on ripe or rotting fruit and other sweet foods.
They are only a few millimeters in size and reproduce quickly.
Although they are not dangerous, they can be annoying and cause filth in the kitchen.
Where do you encounter fruit flies?
Fruit flies are attracted to rotting material, such as ripe or overripe fruit and food scraps.
They love the fermentation process that releases alcohol.
If you have windows and doors open, they can smell the odor from afar and easily get inside.
Fruit flies are very small, about 3 mm, and can crawl through the smallest cracks.
Therefore, a plate of food that you have covered with cling film is not always safe; it is better to keep it in the refrigerator.
Because the eggs are laid on the skin of fruit, you can also bring fruit flies home with you when you buy fruits and vegetables.
Before you know it, there could be a fruit fly infestation in your home or business.
Fruit flies and the consequences
Although fruit flies may seem harmless, they can pose health risks.
This is because they can spread fungi, bacteria and yeast cells by coming out of the sewers and then settling on our fruit.
In addition, they lay their eggs on ripe fruit.
Therefore, it is important to wash fruit thoroughly before eating it.
How do I control fruit flies?
There are several DIY products available for fruit fly control in the home.
However, not all products are equally effective.
The important thing is to get to the root cause of the problem.
To permanently remove the fruit flies, it is a better idea to call in a professional pest control service, such as Bestrijdingsdienst.nl.
Fruit fly extermination is then done in an effective and efficient manner.
