Fikes of Minnesota

08/31/2026

It's almost September and we are still talking fruit flies! This month, we want to shift our focus a bit to fruit flies hanging around your trash - trash chutes, trash rooms, dumpsters, etc. As we have mentioned before, when it comes to fruit flies, they hang around because it's dirty, not because of a pest problem.

Fikes of Minnesota offers both trash chute and trash room cleaning services! Over time, trash chutes and dumpster areas accumulate grime, bacteria, and foul odors. Without regular cleaning, grease, food, waste, and other debris build-up, leading to pest infestations and lingering odors that standard cleaning methods can't eliminate. Let us help!

We also offer a product called Bin Balls, which are ultralight granular spheres that offer triple action odor control technology. Easily control powerful odors and flies with just a scoop in each dumpster after dumping.

If you have flies or odors - call Fikes! We are always here to help! 763-657-8001

Cleanliness isn't just about looks... Your floors may appear clean, but without proper care and maintenance, dirt and other contaminants that are built-up could be being tracked all over your establishment. Here are a few quick tips for keeping your floors clean:

👉Sweep and remove dry debris as often as possible so nothing gets built-up and tracked
👉Clean spills quickly so liquids don't have time to soak in and spread
👉Use mats! Mats can help to contain debris from being tracked as well as soak up spills

Thorough, routine cleaning is important to maintain the health and appearance of your floors! Need some extra help? Fikes of Minnesota can help with the deep cleaning so your daily maintenance becomes easier!

Billy's Rockford Bar is a wonderful customer we have had for over a year now. They routinely purchase Steramine from us for their sanitizing sink, but the reason the owner, Rachel, purchases it from Fikes is not about cost! 💰 Rachel trusts Fikes because of the service, convenience, and ease we offer to her and many other business owners! Jake, our technician who serves Billy's Rockford Bar, monitors Rachel's stock and makes sure she never runs out of the things she needs, meaning Rachel has far less to worry about when it comes to running her business. Thanks for your partnership and trust, Rachel!

Looking for Steramine or other products? Interested in having your tech help you monitor inventory? Let us know! 763-657-8001 or [email protected]
