Flie removal & control services

Flies are one of the most common household pests, and there are many different varieties; different kinds of flies exhibit different behaviours, and so it is important to know what exactly you are dealing with. For instance, Cluster Flies are most often found around window frames, cavity walls and attics, whereas Blue Bottles and Fruit Flies will gravitate towards rotting food, bins, fermenting fruit and sugary drinks. Mosquitoes are a kind of fly that are usually found near water, and as we all know, like to bite.

Aside from their irritating buzzing and being an eyesore, in large numbers flies can create some more serious hygiene problems, such as food contamination, spreading of disease (e.g. salmonella and E-coli), and biting. Therefore, if you notice an unusually large volume of flies, and/or they are causing significant disruption at home or at work, some action is needed. There are a few signs to look for that may indicate a fly infestation: regular sightings of active flies, clusters of dark spots in light areas, and maggots, which are fly lavae and suggest a breeding ground.

You can take steps to deter flies, initially by deep cleaning the property and regularly emptying and removing wastebins, and light traps and fly sprays can help to eradicate flies from a given area. However, this will only affect adult flies; if flies are breeding on your property, then professional eradication will be necessary to eliminate them in the longer term. Usually, the most effective method of long-term fly eradication is fogging/fumigation; this leaves residual chemical, so continues to work for several weeks following application, preventing flies from returning.
