Commercial Fly Control Services

There are just over 7,000 species of fly in the UK, many of which have the potential to cause problems for businesses. Fly control or prevention programmes are essential in many industries.

If unchecked, fly populations can explode especially if the breeding conditions are optimum – damp and warm/humid. It’s in these times a business will be most at risk – Spring and Autumn – and fly prevention programmes are required particularly for businesses in waste management, composting, or agriculture for example.

Other business types – restaurants, hotels, bars, cafes, food manufacturers – will require a regular annual programme with a high level of monitoring, reporting and appropriate fly killers installed.

Cost – Your local EHO (Environmental Health Officer) will have to respond to any complaints. This could mean fines or even closure
