Cluster flies

Prevention and Control

Cluster flies are "field" flies and in Summer and early Autumn they aren't a nuisance. As the weather becomes cooler they seek out shelter in nooks and crannies in houses and other buildings. They search for protection from the elements in large numbers particularly in roofspaces, lofts etc, sometimes with several thousand flies clustered together.

They are a nuisance rather than a health risk as they do not carry disease.

In order that one treatment only is needed we don't usually treat before January, this is the time when the number of flies are at their highest so there is less chance of missing any of the infestation  There is a fee for this service.
