What a technician typically checks
A technician typically confirms the insects are house flies, looks for where they are breeding around the property, and checks screens, door seals and waste areas before explaining control and prevention options.
Before the visit
Keep garbage and compost bins tightly closed, clean up pet waste, rinse recycling, and repair torn window and door screens.
Frequently asked questions
Which flies does this cover?
Ordinary house flies. Fruit flies, crane flies and drain flies are not handled through this line.
Why do house flies keep coming back?
House flies breed quickly in garbage, pet waste and other decaying material. Unless the breeding source is removed, new flies keep emerging.
What can I do while I wait for help?
Seal bins, remove food waste, clean up after pets and keep doors and screens closed. These steps reduce how many flies are drawn to the home.
