Snack Man 2000 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I got a call yesterday that my snack machine was full of fruit flies. So when I arrived there was a bunch of fruit flies or gnats. This facility is an indoor climate controlled business. The only thing I can imagine the flies came from is the Krispy Kreme apple pies I just started selling. I wasn't sure about them because the boxes are not air tight, but tried them anyways. Sure enough there were flies inside one of the boxes. I removed them all and put a cup of apple vinegar with dish soap in the bottom of the machine. Fanned the machine out and it was clear when I left. Just got a call they're back. Anyone have this issue before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoom Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Not that I have had fruit fly problems in my machines (fortunately), but you have to kill each generation. While you may have removed all of them the first time, eggs hatch! I personally drown mine in a little bit of red wine left in the glass overnight, but use whatever you can to get them trapped on an ongoing basis and eventually you will get them all.
