Elliot,
Cleaning is usually all it takes. One bar I know that was having problems,
found a pile of lime wedges behind a diswasher. Another was caused by dried
beer on a mounted opener. Well it wasn't really dried just really thick and
gummy. It ran all the way to the floor where it has started to pile up.
Until you find the source, you can always leave out a monkey dish with some
vermouth in it. For some reason Vermouth bottles show fruitflies first.
Use trash can liners, and pick up all garnishes after your shift.
