Keep Your Atlanta Home Fly-Free: How ProCare Manages House Flies, Fruit Flies, and Other Nuisance Flies

Fly

Nothing disrupts the comfort of home like the persistent buzzing of flies. House flies, fruit flies, and other nuisance flies can quickly become a frustrating problem, especially during warmer months. Not only are they annoying, but flies can also carry bacteria, posing health risks to you and your family. At ProCare Pest, we’re committed to helping you reclaim your space with professional, effective, and safe solutions for fly control. Here's how we can help!

Understanding the Common Culprits

  1. House Flies – These flies are usually attracted to food, garbage, and other organic materials. They breed quickly, and their presence can lead to contamination of food surfaces.

  2. Fruit Flies – Attracted to ripening or decaying fruits and vegetables, fruit flies are small but can multiply rapidly. Once they find a food source, they lay eggs nearby, creating an infestation that’s hard to control without intervention.

  3. Drain Flies – Often found in damp, organic matter, drain flies breed in pipes, sinks, and garbage disposals. Their presence often indicates that organic buildup may be present in these areas.

  4. Phorid Flies – Also known as humpbacked flies, these are drawn to decaying matter and organic buildup in drains, garbage, or even moist soil in potted plants.

How ProCare Pest Manages Fly Infestations

1. Thorough Inspection and Identification

Our ProCare Pest team starts by identifying the specific type of fly invading your home. Each type has unique habits and breeding sites, so a thorough inspection is essential to locate potential breeding grounds. We’ll assess indoor and outdoor areas, including kitchen drains, garbage bins, fruit bowls, sinks, and even indoor plants, to ensure we know where they’re coming from.

2. Targeted Fly Treatment

Once we’ve identified the type of fly, we tailor our treatment plan for maximum effectiveness. Here’s what our treatment process may include:

  • Elimination of Breeding Sites: We address the sources where flies are likely to lay eggs. This may involve cleaning organic buildup from drains, disposing of overripe produce, and ensuring that garbage is regularly emptied and cleaned.

  • Baiting and Traps: For particularly stubborn fly infestations, we strategically place baits or traps in affected areas. Our baiting techniques are carefully chosen to be both safe and effective, targeting the flies without posing risks to your family or pets.

  • Eco-Friendly Fly Control Solutions: At ProCare Pest, we prioritize environmentally friendly pest control methods. We use minimal and safe treatments that target the flies without impacting the surrounding environment.

3. Long-Term Prevention Strategies

After eradicating the immediate infestation, our team works with you to implement preventive measures that keep flies away long-term. Some of our tips include:

  • Proper Food Storage: Store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator or in tightly sealed containers to avoid attracting fruit flies.

  • Regular Drain Cleaning: Cleaning your kitchen and bathroom drains can prevent drain fly infestations. We recommend periodic deep cleaning of drains to eliminate organic buildup.

  • Garbage Management: Flies are attracted to food waste, so taking out garbage regularly and using tightly sealed trash cans can reduce the likelihood of attracting flies.

  • Screens and Seals: Keeping doors and windows properly screened and sealed helps prevent flies from entering your home.

4. Follow-Up Visits and Support

Our job doesn’t end after one treatment. Flies can sometimes be persistent, so we offer follow-up visits if necessary to ensure the infestation is entirely under control. We’re here to answer questions and provide ongoing support if you notice any signs of recurring fly activity.
