Not for us, after about a month of use. The container is small enough to fill in one day (twice, sometimes) so we don't have food waste in the bucket for very long. The cover for the bin rests on top with a good seal and a built-in filter that contains odor even if it's on a countertop in the kitchen. So it's either covered or it's processing. Keeping it covered is key. Once it is run through the machine, the result goes outside the house. We do get fruit flies sometimes, usually around ripening bananas or un-rinsed wine glasses so we're not immune. They just haven't been seen around the FC to this point.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We've had it about 3 weeks. So far no fruit flies. We've been using the heck out of it. Things rarely stay in the bin longer than 8 hours. We've had a few days where we ran it twice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I have issues with fruit flies. Mind you I'm a single person. So don't produce the volume to a run a cycle daily. Since I live in an apartment building with no green bin program or compost ability though this is the best solution for me. Fruit fly traps and cleaning drains with baking soda and vinegar helps reduce them somewhat.
