Resources 53 So, how can you avoid small flies in the first place? By following some simple cleaning practices: Clean Drains • Clean drains and traps periodically as part of your ongoing facility maintenance, using a commercial drain cleaner and a stiff bristled drain brush – pay particular attention to the area under the rim of the drain. • Use a snake device in clogged drains to clean out all sticky material, a common food source for the small fly larvae. • If you suspect a broken pipe under the slab, contract with a plumber to inspect the pipe for damage – if a broken pipe is found, the only permanent solution is to access the line and fix or replace it. Clean and Sanitize Floors Daily • Inspect and sweep thoroughly under appliances, counters, and cook lines to remove all debris before scrubbing/cleaning. • Minimize power-washing of floors and walls to stop food and water from being forced into cracks and voids. • Scrub floors using a stiff brush with a commercial floor cleaner. • Minimize disposal of organic material down drains – gather and place in garbage as much as possible. Follow Proven Housekeeping Practices • Store produce under refrigeration when possible • Store onions, potatoes and other perishables in closed plastic tubs. • Clean garbage containers daily; use plastic liners. • Inspect underneath loading docks regularly; clean out any spillage. • Clean rags and mop heads daily and before storing. • Repair broken tile, damaged grout and baseboards to prevent food accumulations. • Repair plumbing/drain problems immediately. • Use 16-mesh screening for windows; keep in good condition. • Keep the exterior dumpster pad free of spillage and debris. • Avoid over-watering of plants or irrigation of plantscapes.
