Flies and Cluster Flies Control

Preparation and Advice

The two most common flies that we deal with are Cluster flies or the Common House Fly.
Cluster Flies – will cause problems to properties and office buildings in months October - April

You will notice dopy flies swarming light fittings, window frames and window sills - You will need the help of our expert skilled pest controllers to eradicate heavy infestations. The source of the infestations are normally in a loft space, attic or ceiling void.
1) Arrangements will need to be made that nobody is in the building or property for 4 hours including pets whilst the treatment is carried out.
2) Remove all items from the window sills as we will need to treat these surfaces and window frames with a residual insecticide.
3) If you have a loft or attic this will be the source of your cluster fly problem, please make sure your water tank is fixed with a lid cover and any loose items are covered in a cardboard box or bin liner as the treatment is applied as a mist through a fogging machine.
4) As these treatments use a fogger machine any smoke detectors in the building will need to be switched off for the duration of the treatment which will last for approximately 1 hour as there is a risk of the smoke / fire alarm being set off by our treatment.

Common / Lesser House Fly
1) These flies are very common throughout most homes and business premises throughout the UK between the months of May – September. The main way of controlling flies from coming inside is using fly screens on open windows and keeping your waste bins away from you home or property.
2) Keep bin lids closed and do not over fill that allows spillages as this will attract flies and create a breeding site.
3) Flies can cause disease by contaminating foods and surfaces they come into contact with so when you start to see too many on a daily basis
4) We can carry out fly spray treatments to ceilings and window frames for heavy fly infestations but arrangements will need to be made to allow a 4 hour exclusion time as nobody can be in the building including animals.

Fly and Cluster Fly Facts

Cluster Flies

Following hibernation over winter, Adults emerge from loft spaces attics and roof voids in the spring, they move outside and lay their eggs in soil and other vegetation. The eggs hatch after 7 days. The larvae then look for earthworms as their major food source, continue to feed from them they become a parasite of the earthworm, and once they are ready to pupate they bore themselves out of the worm and pupate out of the soil. The adult cluster fly emerges and will feed from fruit and flowers until the autumn when they seek somewhere warmer like the inside of a home or building to hibernate over winter. Cluster Flies appear less active than a normal house fly, they are often found crawling up a south west facing wall in the autumn, and look dead on a window sill inside a building although they are just hibernating.

House Flies

House Flies and Lesser House Flies are approximately 7-8mm in length. They lay their eggs in rotten decaying food and waste and feed from anywhere. This is why they can spread disease by contaminating food and surfaces that they come in contact with. The lesser House Fly is the fly that is the nuisance fly that continuously goes round in a circle under a light fitting.

Brilliant service

Brilliant and friendly service by Tony Bennett, he was very knowledgeable and offered lots of advice. The report was completed very quickly and was very helpful to remember the key points. I’m very pleased with the service received and I would definitely recommend millennium pest control.

Good Value for money

When I saw I had to pay £200, I was a bit shocked, but didn't realise they would make three visits over six weeks!! - Plus supply all the poison and provide so much advice.
This represents great value and the guys are very friendly and I am very happy with the results.
My mice are not completely gone, but they are out of the house now and you can't really control what the neighbours do, but at least I now know whats happening and can stop them getting to the places I don't want them.
The service is so fast, I got a visit the very next day after I reported the problem, great company, highly recommended.
