Does anyone else's store have issues with flies in the malt powder? They bury themselves in it. I went to scoop it today and wondered what the chunks were. turns out they were flies.

Are... you sure?? Sometimes like water or tea drips down into ours and it gets little squishy balls in it as a result, plsssss tell me that is what you are finding

The malt powder attracts flies really badly. We’ve had to put plastic wrap over the container before putting on the lid. Starbucks needs completely sealable lids.

We have been having a fly and gnat issue for a few months already. We’ve had people come and spray and put medicine around the caf more than once. We even started wrapping our inclusions in cling wrap at night.We still have flies and gnats….it feels like a never ending battle.

pour some boiling water down your drains in case there are flies living in there

Fly traps wherever you can plus make sure the drive window has its air door on during the day

update: we started putting the malt powder in oatmeal containers and at least now the flies aren't in the powder, still have a gnat issue tho😂
