The GGA Pest Management team is highly knowledgeable in infestation control, using proven methods of pest control for flies and preventing their return. We offer extensive bug management services for all types of flies. Our thorough inspections and customized treatment plans will help you maintain a clean, fly-free environment.
Problems Caused By Flies:
Health Risks and Disease Transmission
Flies are known carriers of a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. As they move between garbage, feces, and food preparation areas, they pick up and spread dangerous pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria.
Contamination of Food and Surfaces
Flies often land on exposed food and kitchen surfaces, where they deposit bacteria and other microbes picked up from unsanitary sites. This unwanted contamination can spoil food and poses a significant risk for cross-contamination.
Annoyance and Discomfort
Flies are incredibly irritating to have around. Their constant buzzing, erratic flight patterns, and hovering around faces and food are enough to drive anyone crazy.
Breeding and Rapid Population Growth
Flies reproduce at an alarming rate. A single female fly can lay hundreds of eggs in rotting food, organic waste, clogged drains, or damp areas. This rapid breeding can get out of control if not addressed promptly by professionals.

Understanding why flies appear and the daily practices that can reduce their presence is key to proper eradication. These efforts will help you get rid of flies for good.
Causes
- Decaying organic matter: Garbage, rotting food, animal waste, and compost are prime attractants for flies. Female flies lay eggs in moist organic material, where larvae (maggots) develop.
- Poor sanitation and waste management: When waste bins are uncovered, food spills are left unattended, or trash is left abandoned, flies are drawn in. Frequent cleaning and careful disposal help prevent infestations.
- Standing water and damp areas: Cogged drains, leaking pipes, and stagnant water provide ideal breeding grounds for certain fly species. Keeping things as dry as possible is a key preventative measure.
- Warm temperatures and seasonal changes: Fly development accelerates with warmth. The egg-to-adult cycle can shorten dramatically when it’s too hot, so populations often boom in late spring through summer and into fall.
- Structural entry points: Cracks, open windows, doors without screens, and poorly sealed structural elements allow flies to enter your home easily. Once inside, they settle, feed, and breed.
Treatment
- Professional inspection and identification: Consulting with a professional to identify what kind of fly you have is crucial. Different species have unique breeding habits and vulnerabilities that require different treatment.
- Insecticide application: Targeted extermination will include effective chemicals to target the breeding and resting sites of mature flies and larvae. It should be applied safely, with the right products, and in line with legal guidelines.
- Sanitation and habitat modification: Changing your home environment so flies have fewer places to breed will help combat their presence. You can do this by cleaning up food waste, fixing leaks, keeping compost under control, and draining standing water.
- Installation of physical barriers: Sealing entry points by installing or repairing window screens, and sealing gaps in walls, doors, and vents will stop adult flies from entering and reduce infestation pressure.
- Traps and baits: Sticky traps, UV fly lamps, and baited traps help catch adult flies. When placed strategically, these tools can help monitor the severity of the infestation.
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up: Monitoring fly activity, following up with additional treatments if needed, and sticking to preventive measures are all essential. Early detection and ongoing vigilance maintain long‐term control.
Prevention
- Maintained cleanliness: Keep kitchen and dining areas clean by regularly wiping down surfaces, promptly removing food waste, and keeping garbage bins sealed and emptied often. Even small crumbs or spills can attract flies, so consistency is key.
- Eliminate standing water: Fixing leaks, unclogging drains, and ensuring proper yard drainage will help eliminate breeding grounds. Empty any buckets, flower pots, or toys that collect rainwater around your property.
- Fly deterrents: Fans at entrances, fly strips, and plants like eucalyptus, peppermint, and lemongrass can help discourage flies from entering or lingering in indoor spaces.
- Reduce outdoor attractants: Clean up fallen fruit, wet leaves, and any pet waste. Keeping outdoor eating areas tidy will limit flies' ability to breed near your home.
- Store Food Properly: Keep food, especially fruits, vegetables, and sweets, covered or stored in sealed containers. Avoid leaving food out on counters or tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best fly control combines professional extermination with good sanitation practices. Professionals will inspect, identify the species, and apply targeted insecticides safely to reduce adult and larval populations.
Eliminating breeding sites and using physical barriers will prevent flies from returning.
A fly infestation can last indefinitely if the breeding source isn’t addressed. Since flies reproduce quickly, populations can escalate fast. With proper treatment and prevention, most infestations can be resolved in a few days to a couple of weeks.
The quickest way to eliminate flies is to locate and remove breeding sites, then apply professional-grade insecticides and traps. Combining this with sanitation and exclusion methods ensures faster results and long-term control.
To find the source of a fly infestation, inspect areas where there is decaying organic matter, such as garbage bins, compost piles, pet waste, kitchen drains, and standing water.
Flies lay eggs in warm, moist, and unsanitary areas, so controlling these spaces is necessary for effective treatment. A professional pest controller may be needed to identify tricky or hidden breeding sites.
DIY methods like vinegar traps, fly paper, or essential oils can help catch some flies, but they rarely address the root problem. They may reduce numbers temporarily, but without removing breeding sources or applying proper treatment, infestations often return.
These methods are best used as short-term support, not as a replacement for a complete pest control plan or professional intervention.
