Cluster Fly Season: Why Cluster Flies Are Invading Your Home

Cluster Fly Season: Why Cluster Flies Are Invading Your Home


Now we’re into Autumn we’re starting to see cluster flies as they gather in the roof spaces and upper rooms of properties to hibernate, often in significantly large numbers.


I had pest control in last year to treat cluster flies and they’re back again?

Unfortunately, this is a common problem because cluster flies tend to return to the same location year after year so if you had a cluster fly issue in previous years and you’ve got them again it doesn’t mean your pest controller failed.


Unfortunately, what it does mean is that you can expect your visitors once a year.


However, once you’re aware of this it can help manage expectations and also enable you to get prepared to treat the problem as soon as it arrives.


Cluster flies have a characteristic smell and are sluggish in flight.

Cluster flies are a nuisance in the house in particular due to the large numbers in which they congregate.


There is one species of cluster fly which is far more prevalent in rural areas such as Herefordshire due to the fact they are parasitic on earthworms.


So, it’s not a surprise that so many Herefordshire residents and business owners experience cluster fly problems.


If you’re having a problem with house flies, cluster flies, blue bottles or any other pests call PGM & SON Pest Control Hereford for advice and solutions.


We will normally treat a cluster fly problem with an insecticidal fog or smoke generator as this is most effective.


It is important to make sure there are no resident bats in your property or business before employing any eradication methods and we’re experienced in spotting evidence of bats so it’s always better to get a professional pest controller in rather than trying to treat the problem yourself.


And, once the problem has been treated if you want some help in cleaning and removing the pest waste in a hygienic and efficient way, we can help with that too – ask us about our pest waste cleaning and removal services.
