Fly Pest Control
Flies are regarded by some as hands down the dirtiest of all insects. They live and breed on decaying organic matter after all.
Flies are more than just a nuisance — they’re a serious hygiene risk.
We provide effective, discreet fly control services to help keep your home or business safe and sanitary.
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden outbreak or a persistent fly problem, we’ll do our best to identify the source and eliminate it quickly.
I should add that in some cases the source can be unavailable if it’s in fabric of the building like a dead rodent in a wall cavity or flies coming from waste in a neighbouring property.
Nevertheless we’ll do our best to treat and manage whatever issue you may have.
Our experienced technicians handle all common types of flies in Glasgow, including house flies, bluebottles, greenbottles cluster flies, and fruit flies. We use a combination of professional-grade treatments, fly screens, electronic fly killers, and expert advice to give you the best possible long-term protection.
We regularly carry out fly control treatments for restaurants, takeaways, waste management areas, care homes, and residential properties across the greater Glasgow region. As a BPCA-trained and fully insured pest control company, you can rely on us to deliver a fast and effective service with minimal disruption.
If you’ve noticed an increase in flies or maggots, don’t wait — call us today on 0141 846 0022 to discuss your problem.
Fly Pest Control – FAQs
What causes fly infestations?
Flies are attracted to food waste, rotting organic matter, pet waste, and moisture. Common causes include poor bin hygiene, blocked drains, overripe fruit, dead animals like a rat or bird and animal droppings. In commercial settings, food preparation areas and waste zones are high-risk hotspots.
What types of flies do you deal with?
We treat all common species found in Glasgow, including house flies, bluebottles, cluster flies, drain flies, and fruit flies. Each type requires a slightly different approach, which we tailor based on your situation.
How do you treat a fly problem?
We’ll inspect your property to identify the source and type of fly. Treatments may include residual insecticides, ULV fogging, knockdown spray treatments, fly screens, or electronic fly killers — depending on the environment and severity of the issue.
How quickly can you attend?
In most cases, we can be there the same day or next working day in the greater Glasgow area.
Do you offer fly control for businesses?
Yes. We regularly carry out fly control and prevention work for food businesses, care homes, nurseries, and office buildings. We also offer regular monitoring and fly-killer servicing contracts to help keep premises on top of any fly problem they may have.
What makes flies so unhygienic?
Apart from laying their eggs in decaying organic matter full of bacteria they also eat food in a rather disgusting way. They cannot chew food like humans do, so they vomit digestive enzymes onto it, turning it into a liquid. They then suck the liquid into their bodies. This process makes them a common carrier of germs, contributing to the spread of illness and infection.
Is it safe for pets and children?
Yes provided our pre and post treatment instructions are adhered to. All treatments are applied safely and in line with best practice guidelines. We’ll advise you on any short-term precautions if required, especially after fogging or insecticide application.
