Common Flies

Cluster Fly or Attic Fly 

One of the more common fly issues we get calls for is cluster fly – also known as attic fly. 

These flies will often move into homes in large numbers at the end of summer and autumn to hibernate. Hence the name cluster fly. These are often quite difficult to treat because they will move into hard-to-reach places. It is vital that cluster fly issues are eradicated because they can also lead to other infestations such as carpet beetle. 

Self-treating cluster fly is not recommended. Simply spraying is not always effective and sometimes they co-exist with bats in roof and loft spaces. Bats are protected and so it is always better to have your property surveyed for the best course of treatment that will eradicate the flies but not harm the bats. 

Common large flies  

The most common large flies found in the UK include the bluebottle and green bottle flies. These flies are attracted to decaying organic matter and can be a significant problem when they invade homes and businesses. At PGH Pest Prevention, we deal with large fly infestations by identifying and removing their breeding sites, which may include rubbish bins, dead animals, and spoiled food. We then apply targeted treatments to eliminate adult flies and their larvae. Our technicians will also provide advice on proper waste management and sanitation practices to help prevent future large fly infestations. 

Common medium flies 

Cluster flies and house flies are examples of common medium-sized flies in the UK. Cluster flies can cause problems during autumn when they seek warm shelter in homes for the winter months. House flies are a year-round nuisance and are known to carry various diseases. Our approach to medium fly control involves a thorough inspection of your property to locate entry points and breeding sites. We then apply appropriate treatments, such as residual insecticides, to eliminate the flies and seal potential entry points. In addition, our technicians will offer guidance on maintaining a clean and hygienic living environment to minimise the risk of future infestations. 

Common small flies 

Fruit flies and drain flies are among the common small flies found in UK homes. Fruit flies are attracted to overripe and fermenting fruits and vegetables, while drain flies breed in organic matter found in clogged drains and pipes. To effectively deal with small fly infestations, our technicians will first identify the source of the problem, such as spoiled food or clogged drains. We then use eco-friendly treatments to eliminate the flies and their breeding sites. Moreover, our technicians will provide recommendations on proper food storage, waste disposal, and drain maintenance to help prevent the recurrence of small fly infestations in your home.

PGH have been brilliant. I had an issue with another pest company and wish I had used this company first! They've listened, are interested in finding a solution and couldn't have been more professional or kinder.

Types of Flies

The most effective way to stop flies from infesting a home or business is to practice good fly prevention. This includes keeping the property clean and free of debris, as well as disposing of waste regularly. Open food should be stored in tightly sealed containers, and pet food should be kept in a secure area. Additionally, screens should be installed on doors and windows to prevent flies from entering the premises. 

For more serious infestations, professional fly control services may be required. These services involve the use of traps and insecticides to remove existing flies as well as prevent any new ones from entering. Utilising these services can provide a long-term solution for business and homeowners looking to prevent blow flies from taking over their property. 

In addition to professional services, there are also several DIY fly prevention methods available. This includes using fly paper, bug zappers, and natural remedies such as essential oils. When using any type of fly control product, it is important to follow all safety instructions carefully. 

By following these tips, business and homeowners can take the necessary steps to stop flies from infesting their property. Fly control can help to keep a home or business clean and free of disease-carrying insects, as well as create an environment that is safe and comfortable for everyone. 

Blue bottles are a type of insect that belongs to the Calliphoridae family. These flies are typically metallic or greenish blue in colour and often found in areas with decaying organic matter. They are particularly attracted to places with strong odours, such as bins, compost piles and animal carcasses. Blow flies are also known to be carriers of various diseases, including Salmonella and E. coli, making fly control a priority for businesses and homeowners alike. 

Green bottle flies are generally smaller than blue bottles (which measure 10mm in size and have a wingspan of 18 mm) and have more varied sizes, yet they are all part of the same family of insects (blow flies). They are classified as Lucillia and are easily identifiable because of their green metallic colour. When in the larval or pupal stage, they cannot be distinguished from blue bottles.

A house fly is a widely encountered bug that is part of the Muscidae family. It usually is 4-8 mm long and has a dull grey or black hue. These insects can fly, and they are often seen near and inside homes and other structures. Unfortunately, they can spread illnesses and can be bothersome. 

Cluster flies are a type of medium-sized fly that belongs to the Pollenia genus. They are characterised by their dark grey to black colour and a distinctive golden-yellow hair pattern on their thorax. Unlike other flies that are attracted to decaying organic matter, cluster flies feed on earthworms during their larval stage. As adults, they become a nuisance to homeowners, particularly during autumn, when they seek shelter indoors to hibernate for the winter months. Cluster flies often congregate in large numbers in attics, wall voids, and window frames, giving them their name. Although they do not pose a direct threat to human health, their presence can be distressing and create an unpleasant odour. Professional pest control services, like those offered by PGH Pest Prevention, are essential for effective cluster fly management and prevention.

Drainage flies, also known as drain flies, sewer flies, or filter flies, are small, moth-like insects that thrive in damp and organic-rich environments. They are often found in clogged drains, sewage systems, and standing water where their larvae feed on decaying organic material. These flies are greyish-brown and have a fuzzy appearance due to the fine hairs covering their wings and body. While drainage flies do not bite or transmit diseases, their presence can indicate unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues. To effectively deal with drainage fly infestations, PGH Pest Prevention technicians will identify and clean the affected drains, removing the breeding sites. We also use eco-friendly treatments to eliminate adult flies and provide recommendations on proper drain maintenance to prevent future infestations. 

Midges are small, delicate flies that belong to the Chironomidae family. They are often found near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, where their larvae feed on algae and other organic material. While midges are an essential part of the ecosystem, some species, like the non-biting midge or the biting midge (also known as “no-see-ums”), can be a nuisance to homeowners. Biting midges are particularly bothersome due to their painful bites, which can cause itching and irritation. To control midge infestations, PGH Pest Prevention focuses on habitat modification, such as reducing standing water and improving outdoor lighting. We also offer targeted treatments to reduce adult midge populations and provide advice on personal protection measures to minimise the risk of bites. 

Storm flies, also known as thunder flies or thrips, are tiny, slender insects that can infest homes, particularly during periods of warm, humid weather or thunderstorms. They are attracted to bright lights and can easily invade homes through open windows and doors. While storm flies do not bite humans and are not known to transmit diseases, they can cause discomfort and annoyance due to their propensity to crawl on surfaces, including people’s skin. To manage storm fly infestations, PGH Pest Prevention technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points and seal them. We also recommend the use of insect screens, proper lighting, and regular cleaning to reduce the likelihood of future infestations. 

Living with a fly infestation can be both frustrating and detrimental to your family’s health. At PGH Pest Prevention, we provide you with a comprehensive and affordable fly control solution. Our eco-friendly and industry-approved treatments, combined with our expert advice, will help you get your fly issue under control and prevent future infestations.
