Fly Management and Fly Control

Pest Control Technicians Preventative Fly Management Programs Consistently Solve Difficult Large and Small Fly Infestations

Humans and disease spreading flies have a long and deadly association.  Food poisoning, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, dysentery are just a few human diseases spread by flies.  Biting flies cause painful bites and can spread disease from animals to humans as well.  Anyone who has been at a picnic or other outdoor dining location knows how fast flies can find their food sources.  Some flies such as the house fly have sponging mouthparts.  When they feed on exposed food they will leave behind harmful organisms that could infect an unsuspecting human.  Flies have the double whammy of also spreading disease carrying organisms on their feet as well.  Yuck!

Fly Control Inspection

Fly Control Management

Inspection:  Flies can come from great distances away since they can fly with the wind and show up almost anywhere.  Pest Control Technicians inspectors are well versed on fly biology and habits; the real key to fly control.  Identifying the species of fly whether large or small is very important to an effective fly program because each fly has its own ecological niche that it occupies in nature.  Once the species of fly is identified, then the next part of the PCT Fly Prevention Inspection Program is to locate the breeding sources specific to the fly.  On the outside they can come from trash and garbage or even a dead animal.  On the inside flies could breed in organic material found in floor drains, food debris or sometimes broken sanitary sewer pipes.  Our professional fly inspectors will note any sanitation or repair deficiencies and recommend effective repair and treatment solutions.

Fly Control Treatments

Treatments:  It is critical for effective fly control to eliminate fly breeding sources but sometimes flies are coming from areas where we do not have control.  Pest Control Technicians will use an integrated approach to this scenario using a variety of baits, traps, insect light traps and other fly control materials to capture and kill flies away from your facility.

Case Study on Fly Control

A new client of Pest Control Technicians, a medical facility, had a very bad fly problem both inside and outside of the building.  Other pest control companies could not alleviate the problem and flies continued to enter the building in large numbers.  Pest Control Technicians found the breeding site (animal manure) near the medical facility and began trapping flies near the breeding source.  We then extended the treatment perimeter to areas around the building that did not have patient doors to the outside.  (We did not want to attract flies to exterior doorways.  This would encourage flies to enter the facility.)   PCT then used other fly traps and fly bait materials in these areas to pull the flies away from the patient doorways.  The result was that we eliminated an ongoing fly problem that was causing a real health threat in a medical facility!

Small Fly Infestations

Pest Control Technicians specializes in the elimination of small fly as well as large fly infestations of a wide variety of species.  Small flies are usually breeding inside structures, sometimes from floor drains that have organic debris buildup, and other times breeding standing water and food debris.  Finding the locations of these breeding sources is crucial so they can be cleaned and properly treated.  Many people feel that nothing can be done for some small fly infestations; it’s just something that they feel they have to live with.  This is a fallacy belief since there are many effective materials for fly control including biological treatments, insect growth regulators, insect light traps and numerous other effective control measures.  Only Pest Control Technicians can effectively inspect for your fly infestations and design a specific treatment program for your facility.
