Call PGM Cluster Fly Control Hereford for all your Cluster Fly problems!

Having experienced a significant increase in rodent issues across Herefordshire the last few months we’ve been catapulted into Spring with an uptake in cluster fly calls.

Cluster fly problems across Herefordshire are seasonal and occur in the Spring and Autumn in Herefordshire. In the Spring, cluster flies emerge from their Winter hibernation and start the task of seeking suitable outdoor sites across Herefordshire to lay their eggs and carrying on the cluster fly cycle.
