Pest profile
Filth and fruit flies in kitchens and trash zones. We treat breeding sources for lasting relief.
More than a nuisance, many flies spread disease, and several species bite. Real control means finding and eliminating the breeding source, not just swatting adults.
House flies are the classic 'filth flies.' Biting species include black flies, no-see-ums (around 1/16 inch), horse flies (3/8 to 1 1/8 inch, blackish or gray), and deer flies.
Flies go through four life stages, egg, larva, pupa, and adult. House flies live about 15–25 days, blow flies 2–8 weeks, and fruit flies 40–50 days. House flies spit saliva to dissolve food, then defecate as they feed, which is exactly how they spread disease.
Clusters of flies around windows, trash, drains, and food prep areas, plus small dark specks where they rest.
Flies can transmit typhoid, cholera, dysentery, and salmonella, and biting species cause painful, itchy welts.
