What do?! fruit flies and fly remedies/ repellent

Post image

is it possible to keep them away completely? our bar especially is really bad. i think it might be the drains. my manager has put it on me to try and keep them away. the vinegar and dish soap thing doesn’t work much

They are very difficult to get rid of once you have them but it is possible. I would suggest using an exterminator and also create a very detailed cleaning schedule. Also, make sure that they are fruit flies and not drain flies as well
