Flies are as synonymous with Australia as the backyard barbecue, a pair of thongs or the traditional meat pie at the footy. If you haven’t swatted away a fly, then you just haven’t lived! This menace is one of the world’s most widely distributed insects and is a vector for disease, making it a serious pest. They are a source of major annoyance in homes and a potential nightmare in a commercial food service or food storage environment. An effective fly pest control strategy is imperative to halt the potential spread of disease and to limit the nuisance they present to you as an individual, to you as a business operator and to your patrons.
We’re an experienced and professional pest control provider for both the residential and commercial sectors. We use industry best practices to identify, eliminate and prevent pest problems from reoccurring.
Collectively, they are referred to as ‘filth flies’ due to their attraction to faeces and rotting biological material such as food and carcasses. These materials provide both a food source and a suitable breeding environment. Potential fly breeding sites need to be identified and eliminated to ensure effective fly control indoors. Items placed into bins should be placed inside a plastic bag and sealed before disposal. A tight-fitting bin lid is a necessity, and bins should not be filled to the point of overflow.
Flies are carriers of dangerous pathogens that spread disease, such as those that cause typhoid, dysentery, salmonella, E.coli, cholera and many more. The disease is spread via contaminated food or by landing on us directly.
A female is a prolific breeder, laying as many as 9000 eggs in a lifetime. Failure to control a fly problem can lead to a major outbreak. The best way to reduce the chance of an infestation is to use an integrated pest management approach.
A code of practice for the management of pests in the food industry has been developed in Australia and is a valuable resource that should be followed. We will detail specific measures for this industry as they have the greatest implications. Adoption of these measures will reduce the likelihood of an infestation for any residential property owner. The major responsibility of a pest control company and food industry operation is to work together to reduce the attractiveness of a site to flying insects such as flies and mosquitoes.
When it comes to controlling flies, early intervention is essential. Left unchecked, fly populations can grow rapidly due to their short reproductive cycles. A single female fly can lay thousands of eggs in her lifetime, leading to a fast-growing infestation that becomes harder to manage.
By identifying and eliminating breeding sites early and implementing control measures promptly, you can stop a small fly problem from turning into a major health risk. Proactive fly pest control helps to reduce the need for more aggressive interventions later on.
Where necessary and appropriate, a number of other fly pest control options should be implemented, including:
DIY fly pest control may offer temporary relief, but rarely tackles the breeding sites or provides the thorough treatment needed to prevent future infestations.

To reduce the number of outdoor flying insects, we will identify and eliminate breeding sites, instigate a baiting program and conduct an insecticide treatment of all possible resting sites.
Once flies have merged indoors, there are other management tools we use including light traps and timed-release auto sprayers. Once the problem is in hand, a thorough clean and regular maintenance is required to lift sanitation standards to prevent a reocurrence.
