Treating the flies is only part of the solution.
WHY ARE THE FLIES THERE?
Flies can enter through doors, windows, vents, and other openings, but a persistent infestation may indicate an underlying source somewhere else on the property. Depending on the species and circumstances, the source could be waste, food, drains, organic material, a dead animal or another accessible breeding site.
We'll investigate the situation and give you clear advice on what we're finding and what can be done to reduce the likelihood of the problem returning.

Drains and drainage systems
✓
Waste storage and bin areas
✓
Dead animals or inaccessible organic material
✓
Gaps, vents and other access points

House Flies
Common throughout East Sussex homes. Typically associated with waste and breeding in organic decay.
Different flies can mean different problems.
Correct identification helps us understand where infestations come from and how to approach them effectively for long-term results.
Not sure what you have? We will help identify the fly type during our initial site assessment.

Cluster Flies
Often found in loft spaces and wall voids. They hibernate in large numbers during cooler months.
WHAT TYPE OF FLY?

Drain Flies
Small, moth-like flies that breed in the organic film found in blocked or faulty drainage systems.
