Fikes Fixed It - Fruit Flies!
A customer of ours was struggling with fruit flies at their bar, specifically around their liquor bottles. One of our Service Technicians recommended our Fruit Fly strips to them and two weeks after purchasing/putting up the strips, look at the drastic difference it has made!
Remember that fruit flies are a cleanliness issue and NOT a pest issue! The best way to manage fruit flies is proper, thorough, and regular cleaning combined with deterrents like our fruit fly strips.
Interested in fruit fly products or perhaps a little extra help with deep cleaning? Call or email us anytime!

Back to School Spotlight - Kiddiegarten
The Kiddiegarten School of Maple Grove is a high quality, early learning Montessori childcare center for infants through preschoolers, as well as school-aged children up to 11 years of age. Naveen, Owner & Director of Kiddiegarten, first opened the center in June 2017, so they are going on almost 10 years of service to the community! Kiddiegarten operates with a very non-commercial, family and community driven approach to childcare.
Naveen and Kiddiegarten have also been customers of Fikes since opening in 2017! We have been providing them with essential products such as paper towels and dispensers, gloves, and trash bags since the beginning. Naveen says our "towels are the best" and that our "dispensers are dependable!" He said he initially chose Fikes of Minnesota because we have good pricing and excellent service, and he will continue to stay loyal to Fikes for those reasons!
Kiddiegarten current has an extraordinary limited promotional offer with "Fixed for Life" tuition rates! Limited spots available, see the flyer above for more information! Kiddiegarten also follows the Montessori+Plus curriculum, as well as scheduling lots of fun activities for the children all year round!
