Flies

Because with flies…
if you don’t deal with the source, they’ll keep coming back.

Flies are a major issue for commercial environments particularly where food, waste, or high footfall is involved.

From kitchens and restaurants to warehouses and offices, fly activity isn’t just a nuisance… it’s a serious hygiene and compliance risk.

At Dalton Pest, we provide fast, effective fly control tailored to your business and industry.

Common Signs Of A Fly Problem

Increased fly activity indoors
Flies around bins, drains, or food prep areas
Maggots (larvae) in waste or hidden areas
Flies gathering around windows or light sources
Strong odours linked to breeding sites

What Causes Fly Problems?

Flies are attracted to:

Food waste and spillages
Poor waste management
Blocked or damaged drains
Warm environments with moisture
Organic material left exposed

What Not To Do

Don’t rely on sprays alone – they only deal with visible flies
Don’t ignore the source – breeding sites must be identified
Don’t delay action – populations grow rapidly
Don’t overlook hygiene issues – prevention is key
Don’t use incorrect equipment – placement of fly units matters

How Do We Deal With Flies?

At Dalton Pest, we focus on source-led control:

Full inspection to identify species and breeding areas
Targeted treatment of problem zones
Recommendations for waste and hygiene improvements
Installation of electric fly control units (EFKs) where required
Ongoing monitoring and servicing

When it comes to fly control, there are a range of preventative options depending on the environment. In commercial settings, Electric Fly Killers (EFKs) are a popular choice and they’re not all bulky or industrial looking anymore. Modern units can be discreet and more aesthetic, blending into customer-facing areas like cafés, restaurants, and offices while still doing the job effectively. For external areas, fly bags and traps can be used to draw flies away from buildings, reducing the chance of them entering in the first place. Combined with good hygiene and waste management, these solutions form a strong preventative approach, rather than just reacting once flies become a problem. At Dalton Pest, we always recommend the right setup based on the site because good prevention makes ongoing control much easier
