Females lay about 500 eggs.  The eggs usually hatch within 24 hours.  Their larvae develop in rotten fruit and vegetables, and sometimes in decaying meat.  The fruit fly's entire life cycle lasts about 25 days.  <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The best way to prevent the infestation of fruit flies would be to store your fruits and vegetables in the fridge and keep your counters clean! If you have no fruit or vegetables, but your still seeing fruit flies, it's possible they have found breeding grounds in your drain or possibly your garbage bins or all the above. Once you have located the source of their breeding grounds, then the process of eradicating them truly begins. <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Ridding your home of fruit flies can be very overwhelming and difficult.  If feel like your losing the battle against fruit flies give Highland Pest Control a call. We're always happy to help! <br/> </div> <br/> <div> <br/> </div> </div> Tue, 25 Apr 2023 00:30:20 GMT https://www.highlandpestcontrol.net/fruit-fly- https://www.highlandpestcontrol.net/fleas-season-is-upon-us <h3> <span> </span> Flea Season is Upon Us! <br/> </h3> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/be73878901ec46fa9279e751e350e1d5/dms3rep/multi/53764969-D810-4B81-960F-6E14D7ECEACC_1_105_c.jpeg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> With flea season upon us, it's important to stay ahead of the game! <br/> <br/> <br/> Unfortunately, the average female flea can lay about 40 eggs a day!  Yikes!
