Pest Control
Fly control across the Midlands
Void and entry-point treatment for fly problems, aimed at the source rather than what is visible on the window.
What flies in the house usually mean
If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a call. Advice over the phone is free, and we will tell you honestly if you do not need us.
What to look for
- Clusters of flies at windows, particularly in loft rooms or upper floors
- Flies concentrating near a chimney, roof void or sealed-up fireplace
- A sudden, isolated fly problem in one room with no obvious cause
- Activity that returns every autumn in the same part of the building
- A smell alongside the flies, suggesting something has died in a void
Why it happens
A sudden fly problem in an upstairs room can mean something has died in a void or a chimney, but that's one possible cause among several — a blocked drain, a damp void or a build-up in ducting can all produce the same signs. A problem that returns every autumn is usually cluster flies overwintering in a roof space. Treating the insects you can see without finding the source just delays the next call.
How we handle flies
Every job is priced before it starts, and the price we agree is the price you pay.
What kind, and since when
Cluster flies in a loft and a sudden swarm at a window are different problems with different causes. A short description on the phone usually tells us which.
Finding the source
Flies point to a void, a chimney or a dead animal far more often than to the room they're seen in. We treat the cause, not just what you can see.
Void and entry-point treatment
Treatment applied at the void or the entry point rather than sprayed at visible flies, with safe re-entry times explained before we leave.
Screens and proofing
Fly screens and insect control units for food areas, and void proofing where cluster flies are a recurring autumn problem.
Almost always a symptom, not the problem
A sudden fly problem in an upstairs room can mean something has died in a void or a chimney, but it is one possible cause among several rather than the default explanation — a survey is what actually tells you. A problem that comes back every autumn in the same room is usually cluster flies, which overwinter in roof spaces and are genuinely difficult to exclude completely. We will tell you honestly which one you are dealing with.
