Fly Control

Flies are primarily attracted to decaying organic matter, moisture, and food sources. This includes uncovered trash, food spills, pet waste, ripe fruits, stagnant water, and even rotting vegetation. Different fly species are drawn to specific attractants; for example, fruit flies are keen on fermenting sugars, while house flies are attracted to a broader range of decaying materials

• Sanitation: Regularly clean up food spills, keep trash bins sealed, and dispose of waste promptly.
• Exclusion: Install and maintain screens on windows and doors, seal cracks and gaps in foundations and walls, and ensure doors close tightly.
• Moisture Control: Address leaky pipes and eliminate sources of standing water.
• Vegetation Management: Keep outdoor areas tidy, remove fallen fruit, and compost responsibly.
•  

Flies are more than just a nuisance; they can pose significant health risks. They are known carriers of various pathogens, including bacteria (like Salmonella and E. coli), viruses, and parasites. They can transmit diseases such as food poisoning, dysentery, cholera, and typhoid, by landing on contaminated surfaces and then transferring those contaminants to food preparation areas or directly onto food.

Our comprehensive fly control process typically involves:

• Inspection: A thorough assessment to identify the fly species, locate breeding sources, and pinpoint entry points.
• Treatment: We utilize a combination of targeted insecticides (applied safely and strategically), Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) fogging for quick knockdown, various types of traps (e.g., sticky traps, pheromone traps), and professional fly-killing units (EFKs) where appropriate.
• Proofing: Providing advice and installing physical barriers such as fly screens on windows and doors, sealing gaps, and recommending hygiene improvements.
• Ongoing Monitoring: For high-risk or commercial sites, we offer optional follow-up visits and service contracts to ensure long-term control and prevention.

Our fly treatment starts from a little as £80.00

Our technician will provide specific post-treatment instructions. This may include airing out the treated areas, refraining from cleaning certain surfaces for a period, and continuing with recommended sanitation and proofing measures to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
