Flies
Flies are not just very annoying around your home or business; they also pose a health risk to humans and animals. They spread diseases such as salmonella and e-coli, contaminating food and in some cases biting.
DIY fly control products maybe sufficient in removing minor fly irritations alongside good housekeeping, to remove potential breeding sites; such as decaying/overripe food and faeces.
However larger or more persistent cases will need professional expertise to successfully eradicate the infestation. Our knowledgeable technicians are able to identify the species and select the most effective treatment, ensuring not only adult flies but any potential breeding sites are found and eliminated; to guarantee long-term control. Also offering expert advice on how to prevent future infestations.
Fly infestations can have a serious impact on businesses, particularly those in the food industry. Infestations for businesses such as restaurants could result in legal action or closure for failing to follow correct food safety legislation.
Our operatives can effectively rid your premises of fly infestations quickly and safely with the use of fly boxes, traps, screens and electric fly lights. We are also trained in the safe use of smoke bombs and foggers to eliminate the larger infestations.
Flies come in a variety of species; the most common are:
HOUSE FLY: They are attracted to all kinds of food, rubbish and faeces. They transfer diseases on their legs and small body hairs, which include salmonella, tuberculosis, dysentery and typhoid. With a relatively short life span they are still able to reproduce at an alarming rate if not controlled.
BLUE BOTTLE: Noticeable around rubbish bins and particularly attracted to dead animals and faeces. They carry diseases including E-Coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Typhoid and Dysentery. Laying around 600 eggs whilst feeding; which are fully developed in a week, they multiply rapidly.
FRUIT FLY: Amazingly sharing numerous genetics with humans, they are used in vital genetic research; but they are nothing more than a nuisance around your overripe fruit; transferring bacteria from drains and bins. In optimal temperatures of 25°C or above they can live up to 50 days laying hundreds of eggs every 10 days, so can quickly become a problem particularly for restaurants and kitchens.
CLUSTER FLY: They appear in springtime to begin laying eggs outside then hibernate inside homes from August. As the name suggest they are found in large clusters usually in attic spaces. Emitting a pheromone, they attract more flies; which can be strong enough to smell. They can return each year so it’s important to seek our help to utilise more effective professional methods.
