Local Fly Extermination

Flies are common household bugs that manage to find their way into your home via access points like doors and windows. They normally make their way inside in search of a better environment or food to survive on. Trash provides them with an abundance of resources to feed on, which is why they are commonly found around your garbage can. The problem is that flies introduce all kinds of serious pathogens into your home. Since they feed on trash, they are able to spread the bacteria that grow in the trash. If you have a growing fly problem, it may be time to enlist the help of the professionals at Neighborly Pest Control to come inspect and treat your home.

What Are House Flies?

House flies get their name from being the most common fly found around homes. Adult house flies can grow to one-quarter of an inch long and usually live between 15 and 25 days. They are only able to feed on liquids but have the ability to turn many solid foods into a liquid for them to eat. House flies taste with their feet, which are 10 million times more sensitive to sugar than the human tongue. House flies tend to stay within 1-2 miles of where they were born; however, they have been known to migrate up to 20 miles to find food. These insects have been known to carry over 100 different kinds of disease-causing germs, which makes them very bad house guests.

Fly Pest Control Treatment Options

Inspection: Fly treatment services usually start with an inspection to identify areas that show signs of fly activity. Our technicians will also find and seal access points that flies might be using to gain access to your home.
Treatment: Fly control treatment uses a combination of glue strips and traps to capture mature flies where they are most likely to be found. Our licensed pest control will strategically place glue strips by plants and traps by drains and trash to ensure that both are placed where they are most likely going to collect flies.
Maintenance: Maintenance will ensure that traps are fresh, and that proper sanitation is being completed to minimize the probability of a fly infestation.
Prevention: This requires that places are kept clean and access points like windows and doors are fixed so they no longer allow flies in.

Indoor Fly Control Options

Once inside, flies can pose a serious threat to your food. They are carriers of disease, bacteria, and germs, which means that when they land on your food, they are contaminating your food with pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and other serious diseases. Using fly baits and traps is usually the most effective way of catching flies inside so they can no longer be a nuisance.

Outdoor Fly Control Options

Outdoor fly treatments often involve exclusion strategies designed to prevent flies from gaining access into a home. This sometimes requires upgrades like self-closing doors, fly repellent door fans, and tighter window screens. This is also assisted by removing or properly sealing outdoor attractants like trash and food debris.
