How to use dinotefuran-containing household insecticide spray against fruit flies? Dinotefuran-containing spray is very effective against fruit flies and suitable for use in the kitchen environment.
Spray locations
- Garbage bin lids and bodies — fruit flies' favorite landing spots.
- Window sills — entry points.
- Wall corners — where fruit flies often rest.
- Under the sink — damp and may have food debris.
- Kitchen countertop edges — where they crawl along.
Application method
- Remove food sources first; put away fruit.
- Remove food before spraying.
- Do not spray directly on fruit.
- Spray until the surface is slightly damp.
- Once dry, the insecticide forms a film; fruit flies die upon contact or crawling over it.
Combine with trapping
- Homemade fruit fly trap (a bowl with vinegar + a few drops of dish soap, covered with plastic wrap with small holes).
- Fruit flies are attracted to the vinegar odor, enter, and are trapped and drowned by the soap.
- Spraying dinotefuran and using traps together works well.
- After removing the food source, fruit flies disappear quickly.
Precautions
- In the kitchen, avoid spraying on food and utensils.
- Wait for the spray to dry before touching surfaces.
- Store out of reach of children.
