Fly control in London
Quick answerFlies that keep returning however often you clean, clusters of flies at windows or in the loft, or small flies around drains, bins and fruit usually mean they are breeding nearby. Call us on 07943 875884 at any hour. A trained technician will identify the species, find the breeding source and treat it.
Our five-stage fly programme
Flies can become a persistent problem in homes, restaurants and commercial kitchens. We treat houseflies, cluster flies, fruit flies and drain flies by finding where they breed as well as treating the flies you can see.
-
Inspection and identification
We identify the species and where they breed.
More detail
We identify the fly species, assess the infestation and locate likely breeding and resting areas.
-
Breeding source control
Drains, bins and food areas checked, and the source dealt with.
More detail
We investigate drains, waste areas, food preparation areas and other possible breeding sites, and recommend how to remove or reduce the source of the infestation.
-
Residual treatment
Treats the surfaces flies rest on, for lasting control.
More detail
Where appropriate, professional residual insecticides are applied to suitable fly resting areas, giving continued control after application.
-
Specialist ULV treatment
Quickly knocks down adult flies.
More detail
An ultra-low-volume (ULV) space treatment may be used to rapidly reduce exposed adult flies, complementing the residual treatment and breeding-source control.
-
Monitoring and follow-up
Monitoring, hygiene advice and further treatment if needed.
More detail
We assess how well the treatment has worked and recommend monitoring devices, sanitation improvements and further treatment where necessary.
We target both the flies you can see and the conditions that keep bringing them back.
We'll tell you which stages your property needs, the price and the guarantee, on the call.
07943 875884Flies in London kitchens and food businesses
In commercial kitchens, flies are both a hygiene risk and something an environmental health inspector will look for. Problems usually trace back to drains, grease build-up, bin stores or hidden food debris behind equipment. For food and hospitality businesses we combine treatment with regular contract visits, monitoring and a written report after every visit.
Signs of flies
- Flies that keep coming back in the same room, however often you clean
- Clusters of sluggish flies at windows, in lofts or in unused rooms, often in autumn
- Small flies hovering around drains, sinks, bins or fruit
- Small dark spots of fly droppings on walls, light fittings and windows
- Maggots in or around bins, waste areas or drains
Prevention tips
- Keep bins closed and empty them regularly, especially food waste
- Cover food and clear up spills and leftovers straight away
- Keep drains and sink plugholes clean and free of build-up
- Fit fly screens to windows and doors in kitchens
- Don't leave fruit out to over-ripen
Flies: your questions
Why do the flies keep coming back after I spray them?
Spraying the flies you can see doesn't touch where they are breeding. Unless the breeding source, such as a drain, bin area or hidden food waste, is found and dealt with, new flies keep emerging. Finding the source is the first part of our programme.
Which flies do you treat?
All the common species, including houseflies, cluster flies, fruit flies and drain flies. We identify the species first, because each one breeds in different places and needs a different approach.
Do you treat restaurants and commercial kitchens?
Yes. We treat restaurants, takeaways, commercial kitchens and food businesses, and can recommend monitoring devices and set up regular contract visits with a written report after each one.
Is fly treatment guaranteed?
Every treatment comes with a guarantee. The length depends on the treatment option you choose, and we explain it before any work starts.
How many visits does it take?
It depends on the species and how established the problem is. We assess how well the treatment has worked and recommend any further treatment, monitoring or hygiene improvements needed.
