LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL NUISANCE - FLIES IN THE HOUSE

 

Finding cluster flies in house is inevitable and happens to almost every homeowner in the late summer and early fall. In the fall, flies will find their way into your home out of the cold. Fruit flies and cluster flies 

are the most common occurrences of flies in the house that we encounter. Flies like to be social but we are not interested in socializing with them, they are a nuisance.

 

About Cluster Flies

Cluster flies are part of the blowfly family, but unlike other fly species they do not present hazard health concerns. Unlike other types of flies who lay their eggs in human food, cluster flies lay their eggs strictly in the soil and the larvae penetrate earthworms as their host. The adults emerge in the late summer and early autumn, when they enter homes in search of a place to hibernate through the winter. In April, all of the cluster flies in house hibernating, wake up, fly outside and search for a place to lay their eggs in cracks in the soil. Several generations of flies emerge throughout the summer and they stop laying eggs in

late August and September to seek a hiding place for winter.

 

How to get rid of flies in the house:

Cluster flies are a large problem in rural and suburban areas due to the large grassy areas that favour high earthworm populations. If a fly enters your homethat one fly can turn into an infestation very quickly. So, how do you get rid of flies in the house? Home remedies can only help so much, there are several different types of at home fly solutions but they are only temporary fixes. You will notice the same flies making their way into your home days later. We 

suggest calling a professional pest control expert to evaluate where the pests are entering your home. To avoid any type of potential infestation we suggest screening all doors, windows and vents, and making sure there are no cracks in your foundation or roof.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
