Flies
Flies love food as much as you do; let us keep them off the menu!
Flies – the ultimate party crashers!
They show up uninvited, make a mess, and leave you feeling frustrated. But let’s face it, these tiny troublemakers are more than just a nuisance; they’re a significant health threat, especially in food processing and manufacturing facilities. Their mobility and, let’s be honest, filthy nature make them a perfect storm of germ-spreading chaos.
With their ability to fly in, spread germs, and fly out, it’s no wonder there’s a growing demand for innovative solutions to combat these flying insect pests.
When you have a problem with flies
So, how can you keep those pesky flies from taking over? Here are some simple yet effective tips to help you reduce and stop fly infestations:
- Keep it clean: Regularly clean up food debris and spills, especially in areas like kitchens and dining spaces. Flies love a good feast, so don’t give them an invitation!
- Seal the deal: Make sure all trash cans have tight-fitting lids and regularly empty them. Flies can lay eggs in rotting waste, so keep those bins clean and sealed
- Eliminate standing water: Check your property for any areas where water might be collecting, like pet water dishes, flower vases, or clogged drains. Flies need water to survive, so drying up these spots can help keep them away.
- Screen up: Install window and door screens to prevent flies from entering your home or business. It’s like putting up a “No Flies Allowed” sign!
- Use natural deterrents: Certain herbs and plants, like basil and mint, can repel flies. Planting these around your property might just keep the flies at bay.
If the problem persists, Pestinators will help you tackle the issue. Sometimes, it takes a little professional help to keep those flies flying away for good!

Why we don't like DIY fly traps
When they start buzzing around, many of us reach for the DIY fly control methods: fly strips, zappers, homemade repellents, bug spray, and even those mysterious bags of water (yes, some people swear by them!).
But let’s get real – these methods might not be the fly-swatting superheroes we think they are. Here are five honest, if not a bit ugly, truths about DIY fly control that might make you consider calling in the pros:
- Not cost effecitve: What may seem a cheap and easy option at first, may backfire. Before you know it, you’re back buying more and more…until you’ve spent more than what you would have paid for a professional pest control service.
- They can get really messy and smelly. Not the kind of stuff you want on your property. And then there is discarding it as well!
- They are not safe. Most DIY products contain strong chemicals that can be risky if not used correctly. Professionals are trained to handle these safely.
- They Often Don’t Work: For small problems, DIY might suffice, but for bigger infestations, they’re often ineffective. It’s like using an umbrella in a hurricane – not very helpful!
- They don’t fix the real problem: DIY methods only kill adult flies, not the eggs and larvae. This means the cycle of flies continues, and they’ll keep coming back.
So, what’s the solution? Sometimes, it’s best to leave it to the pros. Pestinators have the expertise to identify the problem, treat it effectively, and give you tips on how to keep those pesky flies away for good.
