Where do fruit flies come from?
Anyone who has left fruit on the counter for a little too long knows that fruit flies can appear in what seems like an instant. The truth is that these tiny insects (they measure just .2 inches) have the ability to smell food from a very great distance. Because they are so small, finding entry into homes is easy. These little creatures can even fit through the holes in most window screens. While in the home they often lay eggs which will turn to larvae within hours. Fruit flies can infest a home very, very quickly. To get rid of them you must remove the food source. Keep in mind that dirty dishes, sponges and mops can also sustain an infestation of fruit flies.
