Exterminating Fruit Flies, Charleston SC
Getting rid of fruit flies is a serious challenge in the warm climate of South Carolina. Exclusive Pest has pest control tips and tricks that can help rid your home of these flying insects. They swarm around ripe fruits and vegetables and sometimes congregate around open drains or other sources of moisture as well. These flying insects are a nuisance and can become an incredible nuisance if not controlled.
Fruit Flies
Fruit flies can lay up to 500 eggs at a time on ripe fruit or vegetables. They take 8 days to mature, and live for 25 days as adults, continuing the population and repopulation cycle. Due to their tiny size, it’s nearly impossible to keep fruit flies out with screens and other barriers that normally prevent pests from entering.
Pest Control
It may be possible to get relief from the clouds of flies that have invaded your home with the use of a few traps. Simple traps are the best. Pour a few tablespoons of vinegar into a narrow-necked container. Add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. The vinegar attracts the flies, and the dish soap breaks the surface tension so that the flies drown. If you have a larger infestation, you may need professional intervention to help remove them.
Pest prevention
The best cure is prevention. Pest prevention means removing access, attractants, and food sources. Since it’s nearly impossible to cut off access to fruit flies, it’s important to focus on food sources and attractants. Despite their name, fruit flies don’t actually eat fruit. They eat the fungus that grows on ripening fruit. Pest prevention, in this case, means keeping fruit and vegetables in the refrigerator whenever possible, and never allowing fruit or vegetables to become over ripe or to rot in containers or on the counters.

John was very accommodating and went out of his way to satisfy our needs. We intend to keep his service and would highly recommend him to anyone. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

For the job I had for EPC I am very satisfied. He has made a huge difference - Unfortunately this house had a roach infestation before, but now we are taking the step to end this nightmare. When I contacted EPC for pest control John was very fast in response, so yes I would refer him to others, prices are good and the service is good as well. John was on time, we are very happy.

Being allergic to most bug sprays, I was skeptical about having our yard sprayed. And living in the low country my entire life, I had accepted the fact that mosquitoes are just part of our environment. John came out and sprayed the yard. It was unbelievable! I was literally able to go outside and read a book in the grass. I am a believer!

John responded immediately by phone and treated my house the next day. He was very professional and advised me with the next steps to take to keep my home protected. I'm a very pleased customer and would hire him again, if needed.

I have been using Exclusive Pest Control for 3 years. We live on the golf course with the marsh behind us. So we have a LOT of mosquitos! John has been wonderful to work with and guarantees his services. Without doubt, I can call on a whim to say the bugs are attacking and he comes to our rescue! I’ve even sent him a text message the day before I am having an event at my home and he is always quick to arrive.

I would highly recommend John McGee and Exclusive Pest Control. They are very thorough and professional. I get reminders when my maintenance is due, instead of a just bill for it and no one ever showing up. He is the only one that has actually kept the mosquitos away. When I need an extra mosquito spray because of all the rain, they are always available to get right out, none of this we’ll be in your area in two weeks.
