Fruit flies appear in the vicinity of fermenting food. They especially like ripe fruits and vegetables and are able to smell their food even from a distance of several meters. They feed in trash cans, sewage and even on floor cleaning mops. Usually, the development of an adult individual takes about 14 days, and death occurs after a month. Despite the short period of life, these flies are hard to get rid of from the home. One female can lay up to 500 eggs, from which larvae hatch in 3 days.
