Types of Fly Infestations We Handle

House Flies

House flies are common in residential areas and can breed quickly if not controlled. They are known for contaminating food and surfaces by spreading bacteria, which can lead to foodborne illnesses.

Why House Flies Infest Homes: House flies are attracted to decaying organic matter, including garbage, pet waste, and food scraps. Homes with poor sanitation or uncovered food are more susceptible to infestations.
Signs of a House Fly Infestation: Frequent sightings of flies around food, trash, or near windows and doors, and the presence of maggots (fly larvae) in trash cans or drains.

Fruit Flies

Fruit flies are small, fast-breeding flies often found around ripening or fermenting fruits and vegetables. While not dangerous, they can be a persistent nuisance in kitchens and dining areas.

Why Fruit Flies Infest Homes: Fruit flies are attracted to the sugars in overripe fruits, fermenting liquids, and sugary residues left behind on surfaces.
Signs of a Fruit Fly Infestation: Fruit flies are commonly seen hovering around fruits, vegetables, trash cans, or drains, particularly in kitchens or areas where food is prepared.

Drain Flies

Drain flies, also known as sewer flies, thrive in moist environments and are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, or any area with stagnant water. These tiny flies are not harmful but can be indicative of larger hygiene or moisture problems in the home.

Why Drain Flies Infest Homes: Drain flies breed in the organic buildup found in drains, pipes, or other areas with standing water.
Signs of a Drain Fly Infestation: Small, fuzzy flies near drains, sinks, or bathrooms, often seen in the evening or around moist areas.

Our Fly Control Process

Inspection: We begin by inspecting your home or business to determine the type of fly infestation and identify potential breeding sites such as garbage bins, food storage areas, or drains.
Targeted Treatment: Based on the type of fly infestation, we apply targeted treatments using eco-friendly methods. For house flies, we focus on eliminating breeding areas and applying insecticides where necessary. For fruit flies and drain flies, we use specialized solutions to remove larvae and clean drains or affected areas.
Sanitation Recommendations: Since flies thrive in unsanitary environments, we provide practical advice for improving sanitation, such as regularly cleaning food prep areas, sealing garbage, and eliminating moisture build-up in drains.
Long-Term Prevention: To prevent future infestations, we offer preventive measures like fly traps, window and door screens, proper waste management, and maintenance of clean, dry conditions in your home or business.

Why Do Flies Infest Homes?

Flies are opportunistic pests that enter homes and businesses seeking food, water, and shelter. Here are some common reasons why flies might invade your space:

Food Sources: Flies are drawn to exposed food, especially sugary or fermenting items like fruits, juices, and garbage.
Poor Sanitation: Trash cans, dirty dishes, or pet waste can attract flies, especially when these areas aren’t regularly cleaned.
Open Entrances: Flies can easily enter through open windows, doors, or cracks in screens. Once inside, they’ll seek out food and breeding grounds.
Moisture: Standing water, leaky pipes, and dirty drains are attractive to drain flies and can provide a breeding site for other fly species.

Preventing Future Fly Infestations

To keep flies out of your home or business, we recommend the following preventive measures:

Proper Waste Disposal: Keep garbage bins sealed tightly and remove trash regularly, especially in the kitchen or outdoor areas.
Cover Food: Always cover food when not in use, including fruits and vegetables. Store pantry items in sealed containers.
Fix Leaks: Repair any leaky pipes or areas with standing water to reduce moisture buildup, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens.
Maintain Clean Drains: Regularly clean kitchen and bathroom drains to remove organic buildup that attracts drain flies.
Install Screens: Use screens on windows and doors to prevent flies from entering, and ensure they are in good condition without holes or tears.
