Inspection

for Fruit Fly

Inspection is a hunt for the breeding source. Trace hovering adults back to ripening produce, drains, disposals, trash bins, empty cans, and recycling, and check the water film inside drain pipes where larvae feed — a drain that looks clean on top can still hold a fermenting film below.
