Fly Control Services
Every fly problem has a source. We find where house flies, fruit flies, drain flies or cluster flies are breeding, eliminate it and treat to stop the cycle.
Free, no-obligation estimate.
Signs you need fly control
A fly that wanders in the door is normal. These are signs they're breeding nearby.
-
More flies every day
A steady supply of flies, even with the doors closed, usually means they're breeding inside or right outside.
-
Tiny flies at drains or fruit
Small flies hovering around sinks, floor drains, trash cans or the fruit bowl: fruit flies or drain flies.
-
Clusters at the windows
Sluggish flies collecting on sunny windows in fall and late winter, often cluster flies coming out of the attic or walls.
-
Maggots or fly specks
Maggots near trash, compost or pet waste, or small dark spots on walls, lights and windows.

How our fly treatment works
Spraying the flies you can see doesn't fix a fly problem, because new ones hatch from the breeding source every day. The key is finding that source, and it depends on the fly:
- House flies breed in garbage, compost, pet waste and other decaying organic matter, usually outside, and come in through doors and torn screens.
- Fruit flies breed in overripe produce, recycling bins, drains and anywhere sugary residue collects.
- Drain flies breed in the slimy buildup inside sink, shower and floor drains.
- Cluster flies don't breed indoors at all. They move into attics and wall voids in fall to spend the winter, then show up at the windows on warm days.
We identify the fly, find the source and eliminate it, then treat the areas where flies breed and rest. We'll also show you what to change, from drain cleaning to screen repairs and trash storage, to keep them from coming back. For businesses, especially restaurants and food facilities, we set up ongoing fly control programs.

Fly control questions
What types of flies do you handle?
We control the common flies found in homes and businesses, including house flies, fruit flies, drain flies and cluster flies.
How quickly can you get rid of flies?
Once the breeding source is gone, most fly problems clear up within a few days. The flies that have already hatched die off, and no new ones replace them.
Why do I have so many flies in my house?
Usually because they're breeding inside or just outside: in trash, drains, overripe fruit, pet waste or a dead animal in a wall or crawl space. Lots of flies at the windows in fall or late winter usually means cluster flies spending the winter in the attic or walls.
How do I get rid of fruit flies?
Find and remove what they're breeding in: overripe produce, recycling, sugary spills and drains. Fruit flies can breed in a single forgotten potato or a sticky recycling bin, so check everywhere. If they keep coming back, call us and we'll track down the source.
Do you offer fly control for restaurants and businesses?
Yes. We set up ongoing fly control for restaurants, food processors and other businesses, with scheduled service and the documentation inspectors ask for. See our restaurant and food & beverage solutions.
How can I prevent future fly problems?
Keep trash in sealed bins and take it out often, clean drains and garbage disposals regularly, repair torn screens, pick up pet waste and seal gaps around doors and windows. For cluster flies, sealing gaps in the siding and around the roofline before fall makes the biggest difference.
Are your fly treatments safe for pets and children?
Our products are EPA-registered and applied by licensed technicians according to the label. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until they've dried, and your technician will tell you when it's okay to go back.
