Fly Control

Understanding Fly Control

Fly control focuses on eliminating breeding sources, restricting access, and reducing adult populations using traps, insecticides, and sanitation practices. Houseflies, drain flies, and fruit flies are the most common indoor nuisances.

Challenges in Managing Fly Infestations

Treating fly infestations involves addressing both environmental and structural challenges:

• Flies reproduce rapidly in unsanitary conditions.

• Organic waste, stagnant water, and exposed food attract flies.

• Entry through doors, windows, and drainage systems.

• Improper garbage handling provides breeding grounds.

Inspection Process

Effective control begins with inspection of potential breeding and entry areas:

• Kitchen drains, garbage bins, and food preparation areas.

• Floor traps and sewage openings.

• Windows, door frames, and ventilation gaps.

• Presence of maggots or adult flies.

Effective Treatment Procedures

Breeding Site Elimination

• Clean and sanitize garbage bins, drains, and grease traps.

• Use bio-enzymatic drain cleaners to break down organic matter.

• Ensure proper waste disposal and moisture control.

Fly Trap Installation

• Install UV light fly traps in food preparation areas (away from direct food contact).

• Use sticky fly ribbons in concealed corners.

• Employ baited fly traps outdoors near garbage areas.

Insecticide Application

• Apply residual sprays or aerosols on fly resting areas like walls, ceilings, and window frames.

• Use fly-killing aerosols in high-activity areas (when unoccupied).

• Employ space sprays or foggers for quick knockdown during severe infestations.

Best Practices for Fly Control

Do’s:

✔ Maintain hygiene and sanitation at all times.
✔ Seal food containers and clean spills promptly.
✔ Install mesh screens on windows and vents.

Don’ts:

✖ Don’t leave waste exposed or improperly covered.
✖ Avoid placing traps where pets or children can access them.
✖ Do not overuse insecticides in food-handling areas.

Fly Control Product Options

Residual Sprays:

• Cypermethrin

• Deltamethrin

Aerosols and Foggers:

• Pyrethrin-based sprays

Trapping Devices:

• UV Light Traps

• Glue Boards

• Baited Outdoor Traps

How Fly Control Products Work

• Flies are attracted to UV light, food-scented baits, or sugary substances.

• Contact or ingestion with insecticide-treated surfaces leads to rapid knockdown.

• In foggers or aerosols, active ingredients affect the nervous system upon exposure.

• Sticky traps physically capture adult flies, preventing further reproduction.

• Drain treatments break down breeding organic matter, stopping larvae development.

Key Product Features – Fly Control

• Fast-acting, odorless aerosol sprays for instant results.

• Long-lasting residual sprays for wall and window treatment.

• Safe, food-grade UV traps for commercial kitchens.

• Easy-to-use foggers and drain gels for deep sanitation.

Consistent fly control depends on proper identification, cleaning, and deployment of the right product for the right area. Preventive practices combined with quality products ensure a hygienic, fly-free space.
