Reliable Fly Control for Homes & Businesses

Flies are more than a nuisance — they are public health pests that contaminate food, spread bacteria, and can damage your reputation if ignored. Whether you’re a household struggling with persistent flies in the kitchen, or a business managing hygiene risks, swift action is essential. British Pest Control Association

At Bite Back Pest Control, we provide specialist fly control services across Yorkshire tailored to both residential and commercial properties. Our professional team uses proven methods to eliminate fly infestations safely, efficiently, and long-term.

Common Fly Species & What They Mean for You

Different types of flies can infest homes and businesses, each with its own habits and risks:

• House Fly

Fast-breeding and attracted to decaying organic matter, house flies can transmit disease-causing bacteria by landing on food and surfaces. 

• Fruit Fly

Tiny flies drawn to overripe fruit, fermenting liquids and food waste. They can multiply rapidly in kitchens and food prep areas.

• Drain / Filter Fly

Often linked to moisture and organic build-up in drains, these small fuzzy flies may indicate blocked or dirty plumbing. 

• Bluebottle / Blowfly

Larger, buzzing flies attracted to animal waste and decaying material — a sign of hygiene issues or hidden carcasses. 

• Crane Fly

Not a health threat, but their presence in large numbers can be alarming and indicate gaps around windows or doors. 

Signs You Have a Fly Infestation

Watch out for these common indicators:

• Flies buzzing indoors around food preparation or refuse areas

• Clusters of flies on walls, ceilings or windowsills

• Persistent presence despite cleaning and DIY traps

• Rapid increase in fly numbers over days

• Foul odours from drains or waste areas

Flies reproduce quickly — some species lay hundreds of eggs, so infestations can grow fast if not treated professionally.

Why Flies Are More Than Just Irritating

Flies can spread pathogens by walking or feeding on food and surfaces, picking up bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella and other microbes that cause illness.

This makes effective control especially important where food is prepared, stored or served, and in homes with children, pets or vulnerable residents.

Our Professional Fly Control Process

1. Detailed Inspection

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your property to:

• Identify the fly species and infestation source

• Locate breeding and resting areas

• Find access points flies are using to enter

This ensures a targeted, effective treatment plan.

2. Tailored Treatment Options

Based on the inspection, we use industry-proven methods which may include:

• Electric fly killers and UV traps

• Residual insecticide applications where appropriate

• Fly screens and exclusion advice

• Sanitation recommendations to remove attractants

These solutions reduce current fly numbers and minimise future infestations.

3. Prevention & Follow-Up

After treatment, we advise on prevention strategies such as:

• Sealing gaps and entry points

• Improving waste management and hygiene

• Regular maintenance of drains and bins

We also offer follow-up visits to make sure the problem stays solved.

Fly Control FAQs

Q: Why are flies a problem in my home or business?
Flies breed quickly and feed on organic matter and waste, meaning they can rapidly contaminate food and surfaces if not controlled.

Q: Can I control flies with DIY methods?
DIY traps and sprays may reduce numbers temporarily but often don’t eliminate the source, particularly for drain flies or large infestations. Professional treatment ensures long-term control.

Q: Are your treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes — we use safe, effective solutions applied by trained technicians to protect people and animals.

Q: How quickly can you treat an infestation?
We aim to arrange prompt appointments, with fast response times available for urgent situations.
