Flies are generally just annoying, little pests that fly around your house or kitchen, you swat away with your hands or a fly swatter, and are a general nuisance around your home. But when you have a fly infestation of hundreds of flies, getting to the bottom of the why is critical to you, your family, and your home or business.Fly infestations not only disrupt your daily life but also pose significant health risks by spreading bacteria and diseases. Effective fly control is essential to maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

What Attracts Flies in Homes

Flies are drawn to homes by a variety of factors that provide food and breeding sites. Common attractants include uncovered garbage, food scraps, and pet waste, which serve as excellent food sources for flies. Temperature and humidity also plays a significant role; standing water in sinks, drains, and leaky pipes can create ideal conditions as well.

We often find something like a dead animal in an attic or wall, rotting potatoes or fruits, or some other “out of sight out of mind” problem you’re unaware of when flies are infesting. Many types of decaying organic matter can lure flies indoors and be a breeding ground for flies where in a period of three or four days, hundreds of eggs can be laid, or maggots and flies can be born. YUCK!

The Risks of Flies as Disease Carriers

Flies, including house flies, fruit flies, and blow flies, can carry and transmit diseases to humans and animals. They do this by landing on contaminated surfaces and then transferring pathogens to food, water, or other surfaces they meet. Common diseases associated with flies include:

  1. Food borne Illnesses: Flies can transmit bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, leading to food poisoning.
  2. Dysentery: Flies are known carriers of dysentery-causing organisms, such as Shigella.
  3. Cholera: House flies have been linked to the transmission of cholera.
  4. Trachoma: The eye infection trachoma can be spread by face flies.

Drain Flies

Also known as moth flies, drain flies are commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens. They breed in the organic sludge that accumulates in drains and sewers. Although they are not known to spread diseases, their presence can be irritating.

Fungus Gnats

Fungus gnats are small, dark-winged flies that thrive in moist environments like overwatered houseplants and damp potting soil. Though a nuisance, they pose no threat to humans and can be prevented with simple with practices like drying out soil and using gnat traps.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take action quickly to manage the infestation and prevent it from worsening.

Chemical Treatment for Controlling Fly Infestations

Our chemical treatments are designed to quickly and effectively eliminate flies from your property. We use chemical control methods cautiously and ensure we are in compliance with local regulations and label restrictions. Our technicians apply some of the following treatments to key areas where flies are known to breed and congregate, such as garbage areas, drains, and other moist environments. This approach ensures that the fly population is reduced rapidly, providing immediate relief from these pests.

  1. Insecticides: Apply insecticides as sprays or baits in areas with fly activity. Residual insecticides can be used in cracks and crevices.
  2. Fly Baits: Fly baits, available in various formulations, can be placed in fly-prone areas. They attract flies and then poison them upon ingestion.
  3. Fly Lights: Ultraviolet (UV) light traps, such as fly zappers, can be installed to attract and kill flies. Some models use adhesive traps.
  4. Automatic Dispensers: Automatic aerosol dispensers release insecticides at specified intervals to control fly populations indoors.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Fly Control

In addition to chemical treatments, we employ Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to provide a holistic approach to fly control. IPM focuses on long-term prevention through a combination of techniques, including:

  1. Sanitation: We advise on maintaining cleanliness and proper waste management to remove food sources and breeding sites.
  2. Exclusion: Our team identifies and seals potential entry points, such as cracks and gaps, to prevent flies from entering your property. If you have holes in screens or they are torn, we recommend replacing them. 
  3. Traps: Utilize non-chemical traps, such as fly paper or pheromone traps, to capture flies.
  4. Cultural Control: Modify practices that attract flies, such as proper food storage and waste management.
  5. Monitoring: Regular inspections and monitoring help us detect and address fly activity early, ensuring ongoing protection.
  6. Chemical Control as a Last Resort: Reserve chemical control as a last resort and use it judiciously.

By combining chemical treatments with IPM strategies, Elite Pest and Termite Control delivers effective and sustainable fly control solutions for your home or business. Trust us to restore your peace of mind with our professional and thorough approach.
