Flying insects

Flies

House fly

Houseflies have one pair of membranous wings and their hind wings are modified as halters.

We do not treat flies that occur because of decaying food in waste - or dust bins or in kitchens - unless they are severe enough and contained. In order to obtain the best results, the use of insecticide should be integrated with good hygiene practices.

We do treat cluster flies but these usually occur after the first frost.

If you are not sure whether we can treat flies at your property: Contact Environmental Health
