Call an exterminator to get rid of fruit flies if your efforts haven’t solved the problem. ‘If you try the apple cider vinegar trick and cannot get rid of all of them, or over time if they keep coming back and keep coming back and you've taken the previously noted precautions (cleaning and drying out washcloths and sponges), you may have a bigger problem,’ says Megan Wede of Done Right Pest Solutions.
‘Calling a local pest control company shouldn't be a last resort, but a good starting point. Often they will be willing to give tips and tricks to help you out. And of course, if you do not want to try the tips and you're fed up with the flies, they can come treat your home for fruit flies. Each pest control service should have a warranty for guaranteed service within that warrantied period.’
