Fruit flies are not regular flies. They’re not interested in the dog poo you stepped in. They are obsessed with fermentation. That single, forgotten potato at the bottom of the veg drawer? That’s their five-star hotel.
Here’s a surprising fact: a female fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs. And she does it on the surface of your fruit. You might wash an apple, but if you leave a bruised peach out? You’ve just opened a maternity ward.
Their life cycle is ten days. That means by the time you notice the swarm, there are already three generations plotting your downfall. It’s not a coincidence—it’s a tiny, winged conspiracy.
