Fly Pest Control and Fly Killers

There are many types of fly that cause problems in the UK.

Cluster Fly
Common pest of buildings in the autumn and early Winter especially in country (village) locations where they swarm into relatively large groups and more indoors to over-winter. Swarms can be killed with sprays or ELKs but may return on subsequent years due to the prominent position of the building.

Common House fly (Musta domestica)
Females lay there eggs (up to 150) in rotting vegitation and drains,. These eggs hatch in 1-2 days into Larvae (white legless maggots) for approximately 1 weeks before pupating for roughly 1-2 weeks when the fully grown adult emerges they can mate after only 4 days, this fast lifecycle can result in the prompt development of swarms.

Blowflies (Bluebottle, Greenbottle )
Adults often lay eggs in the body of a dead animal sometimes vermin or birds that can sometimes be located in your attic or cavity wall. These eggs hatch in 1-2 days into Larvae (white legless maggots) for approximately 1 weeks before pupating for roughly 1-2 weeks when the fully grown adult emerges they can mate after only 4 days, this fast lifecycle can result in the prompt development of swarms.
