Fly control

Flies are one of the most prevalent pests to be found in homes and businesses, more so in the summer months. They pose a huge risk to human health and can spread diseases such as Salmonella and E. Coli.

If you run or manage a food business, whether it’s a pub, restaurant, hotel, bakery, food factory or anywhere that handles or serves food, you can’t afford a pest infestation. Not only will you lose revenue but your reputation will take a hit, particularly with social media! One damaging post can see you shut down for good.

How to Spot a Fly Infestation

There are many fly species, some more common than others, but they can all pose a threat to your business so it is important to know what the signs of a fly infestation are.

  • Seeing flies in your property
  • Small dark spots on surfaces, clusters about the size of a pinhead
  • Maggots – this could be an indication of breeding

If you see any of these signs it is important that you take action quickly before it gets out of hand. While DIY fly products may help you catch the flies, professional help will be required to eradicate any eggs or larvae. Some species of fly mature from egg to adult in only 7 days, creating a huge problem for food production businesses.

The risks of a fly infestation are

  • Spreading of disease
  • Food contamination
  • Loss of licence
  • Loss of business and damage to reputation
