Flies Control
How do I know if I have a problem?
If you have a Cluster Fly problem you will notice dead, dying or live flies around windows or in loft spaces. You may even see them sunning themselves on outside walls. The time of year is important. If you are seeing flies in the summer months then they are probably another type of fly, maybe a Bluebottle or related species or perhaps House Flies.
Preparation Prior to Treatment
There isn’t much you can do prior to treatment but the insecticide sprays that may be used last much longer on clean dust free surfaces.
Treatment
The infested and surrounding areas will treated with the latest insecticides recommended for the purpose and will be HSE approved for its use. All insecticides used are biodegradable, almost odourless, non-tainting & do not corrode or stain. The type of insecticide used will depend on individual circumstances and be decided by the technician. They are not highly toxic towards mammals but are extremely so to all forms of crawling and flying public health pests. All the resting places will be sprayed and possibly dusted.
What do we need you to do after treatment
After treatment do not let domestic animals walk on treated surfaces until dry. If bare skin comes into contact while wet then wash off with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. As long as the surfaces that have been treated are not washed down the insecticide will remain active for up to 3 months. This really only applies to clean areas inside. Dying flies may be seen up to 4 weeks after treatment. There is a possibility that any survivors will build up their numbers to nuisance level again. In fact, once a hibernation site is selected it will be used year after year. The treatment will not eliminate the fly infestation but kill the vast majority, flies will take time to die, how quickly depends on temperature and how much insecticide they have absorbed.
