Rid your property of filth flies with our guaranteed 100% effective, professional fly control services.
โFilth fliesโ are so-known not just for the filth in which they feed, reproduce, and live โ but also for the upsetting number of illnesses and diseases which they spread. Flies can enter the home with ease, through open windows or doors, inside vents or walls, and brought-in undetected on groceries or other food items. They may seem to be only a nuisance, but in addition to being a major source of agricultural damage, theyโre one of the greatest vectors for the spread of disease in the world. Over 100 different pathogens are associated with the common housefly (from Salmonella to E. coli), and a single fly can have hundreds of millions of bacteria living on and inside of its body. Whenever a fly walks, grooms themselves, defecates, or eats, they are transferring massive amounts of dangerous pathogens to whatever surface theyโre occupying.

In addition to our expertly-trained service professionals, our famous customer care, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee across all services, we also have the best-of-the-best in filth fly removal techniques developed by our in-house research team.

What are blowflies, and how are they controlled?
Blowflies (also known as carrion flies, bluebottles, greenbottles, or cluster flies) are shiny with a metallic coating and are often blue, green, or black. They infest dead flesh, and their presence is typically an indication of something dead nearby (such as a rotting squirrel or rabbit). Blowflies are capable of spreading disease and infection brought from the carrion on which they feed. However, control for blowflies is seldom needed, since within a few days mother nature reclaims the decaying flesh. Indoor swarms of blowflies are unusual and are typically the result of a dead animal decaying within the walls of a home.
What are house flies, and how are they controlled?
House flies are a leader in the filth fly category and spread disease wherever they go. They have grayish bodies, with dark stripes running the length of their thorax. The average housefly is capable of carrying more than a million bacteria on its body, and houseflies are known to spread diarrhea, typhoid, and cholera, among other things. Houseflies live, feed, and reproduce in the garbage, feces, and waste, and carry particles of filth from these environments into your home. The best way to prevent house flies from entering the home is through the use of screens for windows and doors.
What are lesser house flies, and how are they controlled?
Lesser house flies (also called little house flies) are, as the name would imply, quite small. These flies are only about five to six millimeters in length and have yellowish bodies. The tiny insects circle in large swarms โ often for hours. They transfer dangerous particles and pathogens just like larger house flies and are also capable of landing in and standing on surfaces of liquid (such as in a glass of drinking water). They are usually found in cool, shaded locations, protected from the wind. Effective control methods include changing wind patterns by installing a fan and a knockdown treatment completed by our technicians.
What are fruit flies, and how are they controlled?
Fruit flies are the smallest of the listed fly varieties, and are often confused with gnats (though they are different species of fly, with fruit flies being more commonly found indoors). They are typically two to four millimeters in length, and are often tannish or brownish in color. Fruit flies are known by the FDA as a significant cause of food poisoning in the United States, due to the transmission of harmful bacteria onto food sources. Warm summer months provide an ideal setting for fruit flies to become especially troublesome within homes and restaurants. Fruit flies are attracted to fruits and vegetables (especially those that are overripe or spoiled). Most severe infestations occur when fruit is left out on counters or falls behind kitchen fixtures to rot undetected. Wherever possible, fruit should be stored inside refrigerators to decrease fruit fly activity. If fruit is removed and fruit flies remain, a detailed search of the kitchen should be conducted to discover where the flies are breeding within an undetected food source. Sanitation currently proves the most effective fruit fly control method.
