Flies are drawn to food, moisture and waste. Remove what attracts them and you remove most of the problem. Here is how to take back control, and when to call in the professionals.
A few flies in summer is normal. These signs suggest something more is going on and needs attention.
Most fly problems are solved by removing food, moisture and breeding sites. Work through these basics first.
Use bins with tight lids, empty them often, and rinse them out. Open or sticky bins are one of the biggest fly magnets.
Wipe surfaces, store food in sealed containers, and do not leave dirty dishes or pet food standing out.
Drain flies breed in the gunk inside drains. Clean and flush drains, and fix leaks and standing water.
Fit fly screens and keep doors closed where you can, so flies cannot get in from outside in the first place.
Keep refuse areas away from doors, lidded and clean. Flies often breed outdoors and move in to feed.
Rotting fruit, garden waste and animal mess are prime breeding grounds. Clear them promptly.
If flies keep coming back after you have cleaned up, if you have found a breeding site you cannot reach, or if you run a food or hospitality business where flies are simply not acceptable, it is time to call a professional.
