Understand the problem before treatment.
Persistent flies around your home or business? Identifying the species and finding the breeding source helps shape effective control.
Fly biology and behaviour.
Biology and life cycle
Flies develop through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. Different species use different breeding materials, so identifying the fly can help reveal whether the source is waste, damp organic material or another hidden problem.
Where they live and how they behave
Food residues and poorly managed waste can support some species, while others need a different investigation. Adult flies entering through doors or windows may require exclusion as well as attention to conditions inside.
How Chris can help
Chris checks the species, breeding conditions and building access. The plan can combine source removal, hygiene advice, exclusion and suitable monitoring or treatment. Commercial premises can also discuss electric fly killer servicing.
Prevention and preparation
Keep food covered, remove waste regularly and clean spills and hidden residues. Check screens and door management where suitable; fly killers support a wider control plan.

Signs to discuss with Chris.
Adult flies
Repeated flies around bins, food areas or one room.
Maggots and pupae
Maggots or pupal cases near a possible source.
Persistent activity
Sudden activity that continues after routine cleaning.
