Fruit Flies

Drosophila spp.

Although these small (2mm) flies used to be rare in Britain around 60 years ago, they are now plentiful in the British countryside where they feed on tree sap and rotting fruit. They only become a pest when they enter buildings in search of food. The clouds that can descend on a property, as well as some species' habit of feeding on faeces prior to landing on clean food, makes their presence completely unacceptable. The can breed quickly in high temperatures and may often infest adjoining property.
