(Order diptera)
Flies are common and highly bothersome pests that invade homes, buildings and outdoor spaces. Their ability to transmit disease causing bacteria and pathogens, such as E.coli and Salmonella, makes them a significant health concern. Flies are particularly attracted to decaying organic matter and waste, further increasing the risk of contamination. They breed quickly and their presence can lead to food contamination as well as general annoyance.
Good hygiene practices can help keep fly infestations at bay, but if they do take hold, professional treatments and control measures and be offered.
These measures will be dependant on the species but typically can include electronic fly killers, spray treatments, fogging, fly screens or strip curtains.
