Flies

• Flying insects are known to carry millions of disease-causing organisms and have been implicated as vectors of Listeria, Salmonella, and E-coli.
• Fruit flies are best controlled by finding and eliminating the breeding material. The presence of adult fruit flies indicates that the larvae are developing in some nearby fermenting material.
• Blow flies are frequently found developing in the decaying bodies of rodents and other animals that have been killed or have died inside the attics, wall voids, or chimneys of structures.
• Moth flies, or drain flies, breed in the liquids found in drains, dirty garbage containers, and septic tanks. It is important to scrub the drain all the way to the trap. If the trap is not holding water, it should be repaired.
• Adult house flies feed on liquids but can eat some solid foods by liquefying it with regurgitated digestive tract fluids. House flies have been associated with many filth-related diseases, and, thus, are a significant health concern.
• There is no effective control of the larval stage of cluster flies because they develop in earthworms.

Fly control starts with an inspection, inside and out. Our professional staff will use their expertise to find conditions conducive to fly infestation. We will pinpoint locations where flies gain access to your premises. A comprehensive report of our findings will be presented to you. Our pest professionals will advise you of conditions that are contributing to fly activity and explain steps you can take to discourage flies. These steps include identifying the type of fly, breeding areas, and entry points. Structural and sanitation recommendations will be made to help correct the problem.

Outdoor fly breeding sites include rubbish compactors, dumpsters, and other nearby areas of stagnant water. It is imperative to keep doors closed and screens in good repair. Indoor breeding sites include wet areas containing organic matter such as floor drains and beneath kitchen equipment. Good housekeeping and sanitation practices cannot be overemphasized.

Corrective Action

Our corrective action tools include:

• Residual insecticide treatment to interior and exterior fly breeding and resting sites.
• Insect Light Traps to attract and eliminate adult fliers.
• Residual insecticide treatment to dumpsters and surrounding areas.
• Residual and/or microbial treatment to floor drains, bar, and service stations.
• Drain service and bioremediation to introduce non-toxic microbes into your systems. These microbes digest fats, oils, and grease, and convert them into carbon dioxide and water.

Our Fly Control Program, a part of our Green Theme, eliminates flies with care and custody of your property. We balance safety and efficacy with pesticide applications, bioremediation, and sanitation and structural recommendations. Let our professional staff identify the conditions conducive to fly infestation in your facility. Advising and working with our clients on sanitation and structural issues affecting the presence of flies is part of our formula for success.
