A type that affects ripe fruits and causes spoilage, it reproduces in fruits and vegetables, as a female fruit fly can lay eggs under the peel of the fruit and also spread and reproduce in drains and garbage cans.
Drain Fly:
This type of fly usually gathers and breeds in wet places like stagnant water. With this type the breeding site must be removed which is decomposing organic material till there's no place to lay eggs on.
Phorid Fly:
This type feeds on damp organic material that collects in drains, it also feeds on decomposing flour and vegetables, it reproduces and lays eggs in damp places, stagnant water, and decaying organic material such as drains.
This type of fly spreads and does not stay near its feeding sources so with this type the source of the infection must be identified and the biggest amount of decaying organic material must be removed.

- Cleanliness periodically, as the flies are attracted to the remains of food and uncovered garbage containers and then move to the surfaces and pollute them.
3 - Physical Control:
- Sealing the cracks and openings from which flies can enter the facility from.
- Use light traps to attract flies to it which are used to monitor and reduce the number of flies.
