Would you have them come spray the area with RAID while you are eating? What exactly would you have them do about this?

I work in a candy store inside of a mall in south Georgia. We've been having the same problem for about a month now. If a customer says anything to me about it, I just apologize and tell them we're doing all we can to combat them. They sprout up about this time every year but they do seem to be a bit worse this year.

Thank you! I can't imagine that WDW doesn't have a major pest control program, and it's probably its own department that works solely on that issue.
Let's hope a few of those comment cards made it to the right person and they can quickly double-check that their black fly control program is sufficient at the MK restaurants.

They had a problem with bees at the mug stations at the resorts so they installed these fans that keep them away, they can do the same with flies. I also know the flies aren't just on your food when you get it, they've also been hanging out all over the condiment station at Pecos Bills, which is not a good thing.
I'd like to think a multi billion dollar company can come up with better solutions than I.
But yes, exterminate them with extreme prejudice

I'd just send a quick note to the health department saying you saw flies on the condiment station.

I hate flies just as much as you, but in an establishment that has people constantly coming and going and with open doors, it can be extremely hard to control, especially in the south.
Does Pecos have air curtains?
Not that I noticed. That would be a good solution.

They do not. That's the simplest solution.

Little baby flies. Everywhere!! WHAT is going on?
I don't have them at my house. Don't know if they aren't here or Orkin is doing their job or what.
But Disney is seriously infested with thousands of little flies all over. Gross. Gross. Gross.
I'm sure they're doing what they can. I just hope they get rid of them before the babies have babies. It will be like a sci-fi movie.

No, it's just Florida and swampland. We also skipped spring and went into summer.

It appears that 15 years ago they had a similar problem.

No flies on you!
I honestly have to wonder if they didn't let some area go...and that's what brought the flies. I mean, they're there for some reason. I think. Maybe not. But experience would tell you that.
I wish them luck battling the flies.
I hear the 17 year locusts are arriving up north. Maybe flies arrive in different areas? Maybe the locusts chased them out?
I don't know. It is gross, though.

No, it's just nature. Read the article posted above. They'll be attracted more to busier areas though just because there is food laying around or in trash bins. You'd have to empty trash every 5 minutes to keep up with that.No flies on you!

That article is talking about something else. These are not mosquito or fruit fly sized bugs. There's are regular house flies, just many of them are small. But bigger than what they're talking about in that article. And this is new within the last week, not something that's been going on for months.
I also haven't had a problem with the bugs in that article. I should give the Orkin guy a bonus, lol.

I bet if you had trash cans every 10 feet around your house you'd have them.
