Flies often land on feces, garbage or rotten, smelly food to lay eggs and feed. As such, flies can spread bacteria to humans and transmit dozens of diseases, including typhoid fever, dysentery and cholera.
Although small in size, flies need to be controlled especially for those of you who run a business in the field of Food and Beverage so that visitors who come to your place of business do not feel disturbed by the presence of these pests and the food served can be maintained in quality. Here are some ways to repel flies that can be done:
1. Remove pungent odor
The way to get rid of flies is generally to eliminate the source of the pungent odor. Flies usually settle around areas that have strong odors, such as near open food or fruits. Therefore, keep the food or fruit in a storage container to prevent the spread of the aroma.
2. Keep the restaurant clean and not dirty
Keep your restaurant clean as flies often land in dirty areas, such as tables that have not been cleaned or trash bins that are full and have a strong odor. Make sure to maintain cleanliness, especially restaurant sanitation. Ideally, restaurant sanitation should be cleaned daily. Unclean sinks are also often a gathering place for flies. To help dissolve the fat from cooking wastewater, you can use hot water.
3. Light a candle and clear the restaurant's dining table immediately.
Lighting candles on the dining table is a time-honored way to keep flies away from your food. When guests leave the restaurant, try to clean the dining table that has just been used immediately. Don't leave dishes and dirt on the table for too long.
4. Spray fly repellent
Routinely spraying anti-fly liquid can help reduce the number of flies hanging around.
You can also use more professional services such as Insect Exterminator Services to solve fly problems by scheduling regular spraying treatments.
