Fruit flies are covering all the tomatoes I left out. Do I need to now clean my entire kitchen, or can I just toss out the tomatoes? (Page 2 ) | April 30, 2025

1. Dispose of Infested Items:

. Start by discarding any tomatoes and other fruits or vegetables that are heavily infested with fruit flies.

2. Clean Surfaces:

. Wipe down all kitchen surfaces, including countertops, cutting boards, and shelves, to remove any residues that attract fruit flies.

3. Empty Trash Bins:

. Fruit flies often thrive in trash bins containing organic waste. Ensure that you empty and clean your trash bins regularly.

4. Check for Hidden Sources:

. Inspect areas like the bottom of garbage cans, sink drains, and other hidden spots where fruit flies might lay eggs.

5. Use Traps:

. Set up fruit fly traps to catch any remaining flies. A simple solution includes apple cider vinegar or a piece of ripe fruit in a container covered with plastic wrap pierced with tiny holes.
