Fly & Cluster Fly Control in Newport

Fly & Cluster Fly Control across Newport and Caerleon, Rogerstone, Bettws and Malpas. Cluster flies, bluebottles and commercial kitchen fly control.

Flies in Newport

Two distinct fly problems dominate in Newport. In the older terraces, bluebottles usually mean a gull or pigeon carcass in a chimney or roof void. Out toward the levels and the wetlands, the damp reen network sustains much larger seasonal fly populations than most of the city sees. We identify which you are dealing with before treating, because the response is completely different.

What's Involved

1

Species identification

Cluster flies overwinter in lofts in huge numbers; bluebottles indicate a dead animal or drain issue; fruit flies mean fermenting organic matter. The species tells us where to look.

2

Source location

Locating the breeding or harbourage site: a carcass in a cavity, a cracked drain, a blocked gully, a neglected bin store, or a loft being used for overwintering.

3

Treatment

Residual treatment of harbourage areas and loft voids, drain treatment where fly breeding traces back to it, and ULV fogging for rapid knockdown of heavy infestations.

4

Fly units and proofing

UV light trap installation for commercial kitchens and food premises, plus proofing of the gaps flies use to enter roof voids.

Signs You Have a Problem

  • Large numbers in a loft or upstairs room. Classic cluster fly behaviour. They gather in south-facing roof spaces in autumn to overwinter and become active again on warm days.
  • Sudden bluebottles indoors. A sudden appearance of large flies, particularly in one room, frequently means a dead bird or rodent in a cavity, chimney or loft.
  • Small flies around drains and bins. Fruit flies and drain flies breeding in the organic film inside waste pipes, gullies and bin areas.
  • Flies returning each year. Cluster flies use pheromone markers and return to the same roof space annually, so a recurring autumn problem needs proofing rather than repeat spraying.

Common Questions

Why do cluster flies come back every autumn?

They leave chemical markers that attract the next generation to the same roof space. Treatment clears the current population, but proofing the entry points is what stops them returning the following year.

There are dozens of bluebottles in one room. What does that mean?

Usually a dead bird or rodent in a cavity, chimney or under floorboards nearby. The flies will keep emerging until it is located and removed, which is part of what we do.

Do fly screens work?

They help considerably for bluebottles and houseflies entering through windows and doors, and they are worth fitting for a food business. They do not address cluster flies, which enter through roof-level gaps.
