Flies

Some Local Species: Drain Fly (Psychodidae spp.)
Fruit Fly (Drosophila spp.)
House Fly (Musca domestica)

Pest Because: Invade homes. Fruit flies will infest food supplies.  Almost all species of fly carry and transmit disease.

What You Can Do: Eliminate any standing water, such as a slow drain or a clogged gutter, as these are ideal breeding sites.  Empty, clean with soap and water, then dry any garbage containers.  Make sure all surfaces, especially countertops and shelves in the refrigerator, are clean and free of food debris.  Clean out any sinks, especially in the kitchen, making sure they are free of food debris.  Make sure all window screens are secure and in good repair.

Our Treatment: Treatments vary by species.  For fruit flies, specially designed traps can be set up at the infestation site.  For house flies, especially in commercial buildings such as a restaurant, we can install specially designed "fly lights".
