Once in your kitchen, fruit flies will find a ready supply of food. They’ll forage about trying to get established.

Fruit flies love garbage disposals, garbage cans and fruit bowls. But they will be drawn to ketchup, tv screens, computer monitors, showers, tubs and even pets.

Washing produce will help by removing fruit fly eggs and pupae but it’s hard to get 100% of the problem removed. And once they hatch, fruit flies will hover over the sink, garbage pails or fruit bowls searching for anything sweet to eat and on which to lay eggs.
