 Flies

Cluster Fly

(Pollenia rudis)

​

Cluster flies are commonly found in quiet, undisturbed parts of your home, such as attics and wall voids. They require warm places to hibernate over winter.

You may see a large group of cluster flies around a window, as they are attracted to the light on sunny winter days.

• 6–10mm in length.

• Dark grey

Filter Fly

(Psychodidae)

​

Filter flies are often associated with sewage beds, where larvae feed on sludge–like organic matter. They are also known by a variety of names; drain fly, sewage fly and moth fly are a few examples.

• 2mm in length.

• Tan coloured body appears as grey.

• Wings densely covered in hair

 

Fruit Fly

(Drosophila species)

​

Fruit flies are commonly found infesting fruit or hovering around fermenting residues found in pubs, fruit orchards & vegetables plots and breweries.

• 3mm in length.

• Yellow–brown or mottled in colour.

• Bright red eyes.

 

House Fly

(Musca domestica)

​

House flies are major carriers of disease and can infest all types of premises. They are attracted to all types of food, including human food, pet food, animal feed, food waste and even faeces. Seeing adult flies is usually the most common sign of activity and a potential problem. Larvae may also be seen as they crawl out of breeding material to pupate.

• Adult is 5–8mm in length.

 

How do we control them?

Our treatment programme for flies consists of two visits. Our technician will initially talk through the problems you are experiencing and explain what our initial treatment entails. He will then carry out a thorough inspection of your premises prior to any treatment and assess the level and extent of the infestation. Before a treatment is carried out, it is important to identify the fly species. This will provide details of the biology, life cycle and habits of the pest, which can be exploited in the control programme. Once this has been established he will then be able to carry out treatment to the appropriate areas. This will be either residual insecticidal spray or fumigation treatment over a 7-10 day period. Please note, you will need to be out of the property when the treatment is being carried out and not allowed to return for 4 hours.
