Flies are part of summer on the Gold Coast, but when they gather around the back door, the barbecue and the bins, they quickly become a nuisance. House flies and blowflies breed in rotting food scraps, pet waste, compost and damp organic matter. Hot, humid weeks after rain are usually the worst. Fly control combines a look at what is drawing them in with treatment of the surfaces where they land and rest.
The crew we book walks around the house and yard to find breeding and gathering spots. They pay close attention to bins, compost bays, pet areas and anywhere food is prepared or eaten outside. A fly control visit usually covers:
- Checking bins, compost and pet areas for breeding
- Treating walls, eaves and door frames where flies rest
- Treating patio ceilings, pergolas and outdoor kitchens
- Tips on bin cleaning, lids and screens
- Advice on keeping pet waste and scraps under control
Fly control goes further once the source is sorted. Washing out wheelie bins, keeping lids shut, picking up after pets daily and turning the compost regularly all cut the number of flies breeding on the block. Fruit trees that drop fruit onto the ground can also draw flies in, so picking up fallen fruit helps. Doorway screens and fans on the patio help keep flies away from where you eat. The crew will point out what they see and treat the resting surfaces so fewer flies hang around the house.
Fly control can be booked on its own or with a mosquito treatment on the same visit. Keep people and pets off treated surfaces until they are dry. For upfront pricing on fly control on the Gold Coast, call 07 3543 7765 and we will book a nearby crew.
