Flies are bad news whether you find an infestation in your home or business. If left untreated flies can spread bacteria such as Salmonella and E.Coli.

Professional fly control treatment will guarantee a solution to your fly problem.

Use the ERDM method.

  • Exclusion – Prevent flies entering by proofing doors, windows, roof vents etc…
  • Restriction – Routine good housekeeping practices to remove potential fly breeding areas
  • Destruction – Correct identification of specific fly species so the most effective fly control treatment is implemented
  • Monitoring – Regular inspections so any issues can be treated swiftly before becoming an infestation

How To Get Rid of House Flies
There are practical measures you can take to deter house flies, such as thorough cleaning which can get rid of breeding spots, removing potential areas for flies to lay eggs, as they can reproduce very quickly.

Removing decaying food such as meat, fruit, vegetables and faeces as these attract the common house fly.

Fruit flies like sugary substances and will feed on overripe fruit, spilled soft drinks and alcohol.

Drain flies typically seek moist areas to lay their eggs, so keeping your property and drains clean and dry as possible will reduce opportunities for them to breed.

How To Get Rid of Cluster Flies
Cluster flies can be more problematic than the odd housefly.

In autumn months, they will gather in large numbers. Cluster flies (Polleniarudis), or attic flies, are large black flies and similar in size, shape and behaviour to the blowfly.

The adults breed and lay their eggs outside in Summer and then during Autumn months the adult lifecycle will bring them into buildings, normally attics and roof voids in order to hibernate over the Winter months, this type of infestation can occur in very large numbers.

Cluster flies can enter your property through the smallest of cracks around door and window frames.

Once these flies get into your home, there is not much you can do but try to trap them or kill them. Some of the things you can do to get rid of cluster flies include:

  • Vacuuming – keep carpets, rugs and floors clean and vacuum up dead insects, before applying DIY residual insecticides or know down sprays on adult flies.
  • Sealing up the house – You can try and limit access to your property by filling any cracks and crevices in walls, window or door frames with caulking.

Make sure the roof is in good order and replace slates or tiles that are broken.

Seal up holes around your home and make sure windows have screens and that the screens are free of holes.

Contacted Jane when I found unidentified insects in one room. Sent images via Messages and she swiftly identified them as carpet beetles and advised re action. Today she came to spray the carpet. Impressive service, all done within two days at competitive price. Recommended.

I rang Jane on Tuesday morning last week, to ask whether she would be able to visit my mother's house so that I could show her the location of the wasps' nest, and she could then treat it whenever she had time. She happened to be in the area, so she called round an hour later - and treated it there an then. Absolutely brilliant service. Very friendly, professional and efficient.

I thoroughly recommend Bug Busters, they arrived the same day to deal with a huge hornets nest, gave update texts on arrival time and were friendly, professional and even sent me some photos of the hornets nest afterwards to show the kids.

Called Jane at Bug Busters on a Tuesday regarding an issue with wasps in a conifer tree. Booked a visit for the Friday. Jane messaged on Wednesday to say she was able to visit a day earlier on Thursday afternoon. Arrived promptly and quickly identified that there wasn't a nest, just the wasps attracted to the conifer and using it for feeding but dusted the tree anyway to deal with and clear the problem. All done in around 30 minutes.First class professional, friendly service from someone who knows what they are doing and understands what customer service is all about.Highly recommended.

Jane from Bug Busters phoned us back almost immediately after leaving messages and was from the beginning extremely calm and reassuring. She was able to visit the house within a few hours and quickly worked out where the infestation was. She dealt with the problem in a calm, competent and professional manner and has booked to return next week to see how things have developed. On the basis of what we have experienced so far I would have no hesitation in recommending this business.

Massive thank you to Jane from Bug Busters! We were worried we had a bed bug problem, but thanks to her expert knowledge and help on a Saturday and Sunday it was bird mites. Still not nice, but less horrible. Can't thank her enough for being able to relieve some stress. After sending a photograph she identified the issue. Many thanks again!

Replied really quickly to our call. We had a wasp nest at the front of the house in the eaves . Tried to access it via the loft to get the powder in but we had restricted access so had to go in from the front entrance the wasps had mad. She was very honest that the treatment might not work just from spraying the front entrance but that it should be OK. Turned out she was correct and the nest was dead within a day. Great service. Highly recommended
