Flies are probably the biggest irritant in warm weather in any environment, whether it be domestic, commercial or agricultural. Flies will be anywhere that there is a food source, which can be anything from leftover food, an open dustbin, manure at stables, in fact anything with a smell. The most common flies are the House Fly, the Flesh fly, the Fruit fly and the Blow fly. Because of the quick, ongoing breeding and life cycle of flies, mainly permanent measures have to be taken to ensure ongoing eradication.
Q – How do we keep flies away?
Unless in a “horse stable” type environment, most fly control options are DIY. These can range from Insecticide aerosol dispenser and refills, fly repellent mixes for surfaces and outdoor flycatcher units. In food environments, Insect light traps can be added.
Please note that Pest Control is deemed an “essential service” under health and hygiene and therefore allowed to operate during the shutdown. We will be carrying the required documents and protection, as per the Government Gazette and the CIPC registration certificate.
