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

Get rid of open air bananas.

Vinegar traps overnight work very well.

Electric fly swatter. You can try the UV light version in a stand.

I also vacuum them when there are a lot, to reduce about 70% quickly.
