Greenville, S.C. – In 2010, 31% (133 billion pounds) of the food supply in the United States went uneaten[1] and 22% of food lost was fresh fruits and vegetables.[2] This significant food loss is partially attributed to contamination, however many preventative measures including pesticides then put food at risk of exposure to harmful toxins. These threats cause Carl Sobocinski, South Carolina representative for the National Restaurant Association and President of Table 301 Restaurant Group, to rely on Aunt Fannie’s® FlyPunch! to safely and effectively eliminate fruit flies in all six of his South Carolina restaurants.
“Fruit flies are a real nuisance to work around, but even more so, they cause your customers to question cleanliness,” laments Sobocinski. “Before using FlyPunch!, over the course of a week we would throw away $100-150 in product, protein, and alcohol because of the effects of fruit flies.”
Fruit flies are common due to aging fruits and vegetables as well as humid or dirty environments, which provide a hospitable environment for breeding. Within 60 hours of coming out of its shell, a female fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs, and just 48 hours later, those 500 eggs will become fruit flies.[3] Fruit fly elimination is a necessity as research continues to prove that fruit flies can carry dirt and diseases and are frequently cited as the contaminating agent in food seizure reports by the U.S. FDA. This harm coupled with the quick proliferation of these pests necessitates quick and effective treatment.
University research found Aunt Fannie’s® FlyPunch! to be 544% more effective than comparable brands[4], working within 48 hours to quickly and efficiently eliminate fruit flies in household kitchens, food service and food distribution centers, or anywhere fresh food and produce is handled, grown or prepared . FlyPunch! is both an effective and all natural solution, which is safe for use near food.
