Cluster Fly Control / Cluster Fly Removal
HERTFORDSHIRE & BEDFORDSHIRE
Cluster Fly Control Hertfordshire – We provide cluster fly control throughout Hertfordshire to rid you of cluster fly infestations. Where it may be possible to deal with house flies in small numbers using DIY products, trying to get rid of cluster flies can be extremely difficult and not possible using products like sticky fly traps and sprays. Attempting to exterminate cluster flies with sprays is a waste of time and money.
The fumigators we use release a fog when contact is made with a tiny quantity of water.The main ingredient of the pesticide within the fumes is cyphenothrine which is very effective. The fumes penetrate all cracks and crevices killing all the cluster flies in the room at the time of treatment (usually a loft space).
If you have cluster flies in the house, in the loft or outbuildings, call us now and we will get rid of them.
Cluster flies (Pollenia Rudis) are very common in the UK. These flies tend not to be noticed when outside but when the autumn comes comes and temperatures drop the cluster flies will enter homes or outbuildings to survive the winter.
Once cluster flies have entered a building they congregate and begin their hibernation in overwhelming and alarming numbers which can be hard to believe when seen for the first time. The cluster flies are often found in huge numbers around windows, attracted by the light. Cluster flies that enter a building attract other cluster flies using pheromones.
Cluster flies don’t present a health risk as they don’t lay eggs in the food that we eat but instead the females lay eggs near earthworm burrows and let the larvae infest the worms.
The cluster fly really lives up to its name, gathering in the thousands and covering surfaces making a mess. This presence can be very disturbing and not something you want in your buildings. Once the winter season is over and spring arrives the cluster flies emerge from their hibernation and leave to begin laying eggs on lawns and grasslands.
