Don't let those darn Fruit Flies take over you bar! Give them an inch and they will take a mile! There is a lot you can do to prevent them from flourishing. Here's some things you can do:
- No standing water, anywhere!
- All drains including floor - sanitizer
- Plug beer taps
- Clean and plug beer drip tray
- Rinse and store empty beer bottles
- Cover liquor bottles
- Wipe down bottles
- Clean soda gun
- Bar mats must be clean
- Keep garnishes covered and cold. Wash fruit before cutting.
- Don’t be surprised if fruit flies feed on the residue remaining on damp mops, moist cleaning rags and sponges, or near buckets of wastewater.
- Bottom of trash cans?
- Last resort - traps
