Why do you need a fly control service?
Flies are some of the most annoying and hard to get rid of pests in Australia and still, many people tend to neglect a potential infestation just because they are used to seeing them all the time. However, a full-scale infestation can lead to many problems regarding your property, your health and much more. Flesh flies and fruit flies are attracted to anything that is rotting, as well as to waste matter, your property’s drains, etc. and they can easily transfer bacteria and germs to your food and cross-contaminate kitchen utensils and surfaces. One of these bad bacteria is the Salmonella one, which can lead to the dangerous disease - Salmonellosis. Flies are responsible for transmitting many other diseases, such as Dysentery, Typhoid, Cholera, Tuberculosis and more.

What are the signs of a fly infestation
If you see one or two flies in the summer, you probably have nothing to really worry about. However, when the signs become more obvious and common, it’s time to seek the help of a professional.
Here is what you need to look out for:
- An increased number of flies - Carefully look around potentially infested areas, such as waste bins, in your kitchen,forgotten tyres in your back garden anywhere near a water source like gutters, if you have an outdoor pool or a pond, and even waterlogged plants in pots.
- Maggots - Flies usually breed close to their food source, so look out for their larvae around waste areas and rotting food. Seeing maggots is a sure sign that flies are using your home as a breeding ground.
- Clusters of small dark spots - You can find those in all the difficult to clean areas like drains, cavities in the walls, sub-floor areas, around sinks and your washing machine, and below damaged tile flooring.

- Make sure that all of your bins have tight lids and empty them regularly.
- Clean up after your pets and make sure that their food is not attracting any pests to your home.

How can I prepare for the fly control treatment?
The general instructions usually include vacuuming the property, emptying the bins and providing access to hard-to-reach places. Upon booking the service, you will receive a thorough email with instructions on what you need to do exactly, so please read it carefully.
Are there any plants that keep flies away from my home?
Most species of flies cannot stand the smell of basil, eucalyptus, lavender and peppermint. You can put a couple of basil plants in your kitchen, for example, or use essential oils, in order to prevent the flies from invading your home.
Can I reschedule my appointment?
No problem! Just give us a call at least 2 days before the service and together, we can choose a new date that will suit your schedule better.
What should I do after the first treatment?
The fly exterminator will provide you with instructions when the service is over but generally it’s best to leave the property for at least 4 hours and take your pets with you, as well, even fish. Don’t vacuum or mop the property for a couple of days in order to achieve maximum results from the treatment.
