How do restaurants get rid of flies?

Eliminating flies in restaurants requires a combination of strict hygiene management, physical barriers, and trapping methods. 

Key measures include cleaning drainage outlets, installing air curtains at entrances, sealing waste containers, and using UV traps in the kitchen area.

Strict hygiene management (preventing breeding)

Flies typically breed in damp organic matter. Eliminating these breeding sites is important:

• Deep clean the drainage outlets: Daily clean the floor drains and sink drains to remove organic grime where fruit flies tend to breed.

• Waste Management: Frequent emptying of trash bins, ensuring tight closure of bin lids, and regular cleaning of the bins themselves.

• Eliminate damp environments: Wipe up any spilled liquids immediately, dry the sink and ice trays every night, and ensure there is no standing water on floors or countertops.

• Clean hidden areas: Regularly clean the back of refrigerators, beneath equipment, and crevices where food debris tends to accumulate.

2. Physical barriers (to prevent intrusion)

• Air Curtain: Install an air curtain above the entrance door to create a downward airflow barrier, preventing flies from entering.

• Flyproof screens/doors: Install fine flyproof screens on all openable windows and back doors.

• Sealed Entry: Ensure all door leaves have automatic closing functions, and windows are sealed tightly without gaps.

3. Professional Pest Control Services

• Regular inspection: Hire professional pest control experts to conduct periodic monitoring, identification, and treatment of fly breeding sites.

• Goods Inspection: Carefully inspect the incoming ingredients and goods, as flies are often brought indoors along with the shipments.

4. Trapping and Disinfection and Sterilization  

• UV Trap (Glue Board Type): Install a wall-mounted fly trap device that uses ultraviolet light to attract flies, causing them to stick to hidden glue boards. This type of device is hygienic and aesthetically pleasing, making it ideal for dining areas or kitchens.

• Electric shock fly killer: Suitable for cargo loading and unloading areas or kitchen zones; due to the noise and potential debris generated during operation, it is not recommended for use in dining areas.

• Fruit fly trap: Place small, odor-activated fruit fly trapping devices near the bar and food preparation area.
