Commercial Fly Control Services

Flies can be a bad buzz for business

Fly control is crucial for businesses that deal with food, including restaurants, food processing facilities, hotels, grocery stores, hospitals, and schools. Not only are flies a nuisance, but they are also a common cause of food contamination, known to spread several diseases, including salmonella and E.Coli.

Flies can enter businesses through doors, windows, cracks, openings, and drains. Once inside, fly species such as fruit flies and house flies can be difficult to control, especially if multiple breeding sites exist. Our highly trained, expert Technicians will identify the fly species, locate breeding sites, determine an effective treatment strategy, and suggest preventative strategies to reduce future risk.

What causes flies in your business?

Flies are commonly attracted to businesses due to the availability of food sources and breeding grounds. Improper waste disposal, food storage, and inadequate cleaning of spillages can provide flies with food and create ideal breeding sites. Additionally, improperly sealed doors, unscreened windows, and any cracks or gaps in the exterior can invite flies into your property. To spot signs of fly issues, look for an increased number of flies around waste areas, food storage, and preparation areas, or the presence of larvae (maggots), indicating a potential breeding site.

Benefits of commercial fly control

• Brand protection - Customers are put off by the presence of flies and may be less likely to return if they see them.
• Health standards and profit protection - Using professional fly control can help meet regulatory health standards and avoid costly fines and shutdowns.
