Fruit flies are a common nuisance in many Lincolnshire homes, particularly in the kitchen. These tiny insects are attracted to sweet, fermented, or decaying substances, often found in drains. If you're struggling with fruit flies in your Lincolnshire home, it's essential to clean your drains to eliminate their breeding ground.

Fruit flies lay their eggs near the surface of fermenting or decaying substances, which can be found in sink drains, especially those with a garbage disposal. The eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on the organic matter in the drain. As the larvae grow, they eventually become adult fruit flies, starting the cycle again.

To clean your drains and get rid of fruit flies, try these simple methods:

1. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
2. Boiling Water: Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any grease or debris that may be attracting fruit flies.
3. Food Waste Disposal: Ensure you dispose of food waste properly, and avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain.
4. Regular Drain Maintenance: Regularly clean your drains with a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any blockages or debris.

To prevent fruit flies from returning, follow these tips:

• Regularly clean your kitchen, including the sink and surrounding areas.
• Take out the trash regularly, and keep it in a sealed bin.
• Avoid leaving fruit or vegetables out in the open.
• Use a fruit fly trap or a homemade trap made from a jar, bowl, or container with a sweet liquid bait and a funnel or paper cone to direct the flies inside.
