At this time of year it is not uncommon to find large amounts of flies in the home or at your business. The most likely type of fly will be a Cluster Fly.
Cluster Flies gather together in lofts, roof spaces and around the edges of window frames in the autumn and winter months.
Often you will find three types of flies in the loft or roof space, these are Yellow Swarming Fly, Cluster Fly and Green Cluster Fly.
Treatment for all of these types of flies are the same, they consist of fogging, spraying and the use of electronic insect control units.
The flies that gather in the windows are controlled with the use of insecticide which is sprayed or painted onto the windows and window frames.
The fogging of flies in the roof space or loft can be done with either smoke generators, aerosol sprays or electric fogging units.
Electric fly control units can be fitted in any area and come in two types: glue board or electric grid (electric grid not recommended for lofts). The flys are attracted into the home or business to hibernate for the winter.
Fly problems can re-occur year after year and generally start in windows of the south facing walls of a property. They gain entry to the building through various cracks and crevices and can even be found inside window frames.
These flies can remain a problem for approximately three months if not treated and for those people that are unaware of the problems Cluster Flies can bring to a property, they may need to call insect control specialists if an infestation occurs.
These specialists will advise on the most efficient course of action depending on the severity of the case. They will also supply these buildings with the right tools to help prevent such cases reoccurring.
So, don’t let your property become a habitat for Cluster Flies this winter, gain advice from those that specialise in insect control Birmingham, Solihull and Kings Norton. They will be able to provide you with the right tools to ensure your property is fly free all year round.
