A few flies in summer are normal. Dozens gathering at your bedroom window, swarms in the loft or a constant buzz around your kitchen or business are not. Flies spread bacteria from waste and decaying matter onto food and surfaces, and in large numbers they can make a home or workplace unpleasant to be in. Gloucester Pest Controllers provides professional fly control for homes, farms and businesses across Gloucestershire, finding the source and dealing with it properly.
The key to effective fly control is knowing which fly you’re dealing with. Different species breed in very different places, and the right treatment depends on finding where they’re coming from.
Fly sprays only kill the flies you can see. If they’re breeding in a drain, a bin store or a hidden void, or overwintering in your roof, more will keep coming. Professional fly control focuses on the source as well as the flies.
Your technician starts by identifying the species and tracking down where they’re breeding or sheltering. Treatment then depends on the problem. For cluster flies, we treat loft spaces and affected rooms with professional insecticides, often using a fogging treatment to reach every corner of the roof void. The best time to treat is late summer or early autumn, before the flies settle in to hibernate. For house flies, fruit flies and drain flies, we combine targeted treatment with practical advice on removing breeding sites, such as cleaning drains, managing waste and fixing leaks. Where bluebottles point to a dead animal, we locate and remove the source wherever we can reach it.
We find out why you have flies and fix the problem at its root.
Flies in a restaurant, takeaway, food shop, care home or food production site are a serious hygiene concern and can affect your food hygiene rating. We supply, install and service professional fly control units, including discreet glue-board models suitable for front-of-house areas, and fit fly screens to windows and doors. Regular servicing and catch records can form part of a commercial pest control contract, giving you evidence for inspectors and auditors.
Many fly problems keep coming back because the real cause is never found. Our technicians take the time to work out why the flies are there, whether it’s a loft that attracts cluster flies every autumn, a broken drain, a bin store that needs attention or a dead animal hidden in a wall.
We then recommend the simplest effective solution, which may be a treatment, a change in waste handling, fly screens or a combination of all three. For businesses, we provide professional units, servicing and records that stand up to inspection. You’ll always get a clear price before work begins and practical advice in plain English.
