Food is the main reason that flies (such as house files & bottle flies) are attracted
into our homes. This is because it is a perfect environment for fly larvae to grow:
- Always cover food – diseases are spread by flies landing on food via their feet
- Clean food crumbs from underneath objects in the kitchen
- Clear away spillages
- Store compost effectively
- Tightly seal all refuse areas
- Clean up after pets – not only are faeces the perfect breeding place for flies but
also somewhere a fly may land before landing on your food.
Professional fly control
While off-the-shelf products can deal with smaller fly problems, a professional fly
pest control service will be required for larger or more serious infestations.
