Anybody that lives in the countryside or close to playing fields are likely to experience cluster flies in their homes... this can be a bi-yearly problem and we suggest that customers book in there visits now to stop them from returning in the spring.
We only book in cluster fly treatments at the end of the day when dark, to guarantee a high kill number and depending on the type of property we use a combination of methods for successful control, these include:
- Smoke or ULV treatment within the main attic space
- Treatment of south facing windows with a powerful oil based insecticide (long lasting)
- Injection of cracks and crevices in high pressure areas such as velux window entrance points etc.
We also, if required, inject dust under hanging tiles to kill any flies. This additional works would be quoted by the technician if required (however 90% do not require this additional expenditure).
For customers with a very high infestation of cluster flies we are also able to offer professional cluster-fly zapper units that you simply place in the attic areas. These units have a large bin catchment area that prevents fire risk issues normally associated with the smaller units.
For additional information please contact your local technician in Sussex or phone 01273 812166 / 01273 514802.
