Corrective Action
Fly control starts with an inspection, inside and out
Our technicians will:
· Identify the type of fly
· Identify the breeding areas
· Pinpoint locations of fly access to your premises
· Advise you of conditions contributing to fly activity
· Explain steps you can take to discourage flies
· Recommend sanitation and structural changes
Our Corrective action tools may include some or all of the following:
· Interior and exterior residual insecticide treatment
· Light traps to attract and eliminate adult fliers
· Drain service and bioremediation
· Fly baits
Our Fly control Program, part of our Green Theme, eliminates flies while ensuring the safekeeping of your property. Our holistic approach balances safety and efficacy with prudent pesticide application, bioremediation, and sanitation and structural recommendations.

Flies
Flying insets are known to carry disease-causing organisms and have been implicated as vectors of Listeria, Salmonella, and E-coli.
|
|
Fruit flies feed on fermenting food stuffs and are best controlled by eliminating these breeding materials. |
|
|
Blow flies develop in meat waste and in decaying rodent and animal bodies sometimes found in attics, walls, or chimneys |
|
|
Moth flies, or drain flies, breed in the accumulated matter on the interiors of drainpipes, garbage containers, and septic tanks. |
|
|
Adult house flies feed on liquefied organic matter and are a significant health concern. |
|
|
Cluster flies are larger and slower than house flies and usually enter buildings in the fall, clustering in attics or other high areas. |
