How do I know if I have a fly infestation?

Signs of fly infestation include:

  • Large numbers of flies appearing daily
  • Flies gathering around windows or lights
  • Larvae (maggots) in bins or drains
  • Unpleasant odours

If flies keep returning, professional fly pest control is recommended

Can flies return after treatment?

Without preventative measures, flies can return. That’s why our service focuses on long-term control, not just extermination.

Can flies cause health problems?

Fly infestations present serious risks to hygiene, safety and business operations. Flies frequently contaminate food, preparation surfaces and packaging by spreading bacteria and pathogens, increasing the likelihood of foodborne illnesses such as Salmonella and E. coli. This can result in failed hygiene inspections, regulatory breaches and financial penalties under UK food safety and environmental health legislation.

In customer-facing environments, the presence of flies can negatively affect the overall customer experience, leading to complaints, poor reviews and long-term damage to brand reputation. Within food production, storage and manufacturing settings, uncontrolled fly activity may degrade product quality, cause stock losses and disrupt operations, directly impacting revenue.

Fly infestations also affect employee wellbeing, creating uncomfortable working conditions and reducing productivity. If breeding sites are not identified and managed, infestations can escalate rapidly, raising wider environmental and public health concerns. Without professional fly pest control in place, businesses face increased disease transmission risks, compliance failures and ongoing financial and reputational damage.

Are Nurture Pest Control’s fly control methods safe for food-handling businesses such as restaurants or food processing areas?

Yes. Nurture Pest Control understands the critical importance of food safety in environments where food is prepared, processed or served.

Our fly control methods are specifically selected and applied to meet the strict requirements of UK food safety legislation and industry standards. All treatments are carried out by trained professionals using approved products and systems that are safe for use in food-handling areas.

Our approach ensures effective fly control while supporting audit compliance, protecting hygiene standards and helping your business meet Environmental Health and food safety requirements.

Are your fly killer units effective against all types of flies?

Fly killer units are effective against many common nuisance fly species, including house flies, fruit flies, blow flies and blue and green bottle flies. These systems work by attracting flies using UV light or specialist attractants, then capturing them on glue boards or within enclosed units.

While fly killer units are highly effective as part of a professional fly control programme, their performance depends on correct specification, positioning and maintenance. For complete control, they are best used alongside other fly pest control measures that target breeding sites and prevent reinfestation.
