Identifying and Understanding Your Fly Problem

Not all flies are the same, and an effective control strategy depends entirely on identifying the specific type of fly and its unique breeding habits. Understanding what is attracting them to your home or business is the first and most critical step toward achieving a long-term solution to your infestation.

Our experts can identify and manage all common fly species in Lubbock County, including:

• House Flies: The most common fly found indoors, they are notorious for breeding in garbage, animal waste, and other decaying organic matter. They are major carriers of germs and can contaminate food surfaces.
• Fruit Flies: These tiny flies are drawn to fermenting fruits, vegetables, and sugary liquids. They can quickly infest kitchens, breeding in drains, garbage disposals, recycling bins, and forgotten produce.
• Drain Flies: Often mistaken for tiny moths, these fuzzy flies are found in bathrooms and kitchens. They breed and feed on the organic sludge that builds up inside drains, pipes, and septic systems.
• Blow Flies: Recognizable by their metallic blue or green appearance, these flies are often the first insects to arrive at decaying animal remains. Their presence can sometimes indicate a dead rodent or bird in or near a property.

A professional inspection can quickly pinpoint the species and locate the hidden breeding sources that are causing your fly problem to continue.

Our Integrated Approach to Fly Management

At Southwest Pest & Mosquito, we know that simply spraying for flies is not a real or lasting solution. We use a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach that is designed to interrupt the fly life cycle and provide you with sustainable relief, all while keeping the well-being of your family and pets as a top priority.

Our IPM fly control process includes:

• Inspection and Source Identification: Our trained technicians begin by performing a thorough inspection to identify the type of fly and, most importantly, find the specific breeding and feeding sources on your property that are fueling the infestation.
• Sanitation and Exclusion Recommendations: Open communication is key to our success. We will offer clear, practical advice on sanitation improvements and show you how to seal potential entry points to make your property less attractive to flies.
• Targeted Control Methods: Based on our findings, we use a combination of the most effective control methods. This may include insect light traps, baits, and targeted applications of products that are safe for people and pets.
• Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention: For our customers with ongoing service plans, we will continue to monitor for fly activity and adjust our strategy as needed to keep your home or business protected throughout the season.

Our satisfaction guarantee means we are committed to solving your fly problem completely, not just offering a temporary fix.

The Limits of DIY Fly Control

When you have a fly problem, it's tempting to rely on do-it-yourself methods, but these often fall short. Common tactics like flypaper, swatters, and zappers only target the adult flies, which typically represent just a small fraction of the total population. They do nothing to address the hidden breeding sites where hundreds of eggs and larvae are developing.

Flies are known to transmit numerous diseases by contaminating food and preparation surfaces. A professional service understands these health risks and can implement a thorough strategy to reduce the fly population quickly and effectively, helping to better protect your family, employees, or customers.

Ultimately, a professional service provides a strategic plan, not just a single product. Experts use their knowledge of fly behavior to implement a multi-faceted approach. This includes mechanical controls, sanitation improvements, and the precise application of control materials, leading to a much faster and more complete resolution.

FAQs About Fly Control in Lubbock

Why do I suddenly have so many flies?

A sudden increase in the fly population almost always indicates that a new breeding source has become available nearby. This could be anything from an overflowing trash can or pet waste in the yard to a plumbing issue or a dead animal in a wall void or attic.

Are your fly treatments safe to use in my home?

Yes. The well-being of your family and pets is a top priority for us. We specifically select and apply products that are tough on flies but safe for people and pets when used according to professional guidelines. Our technicians are highly trained and will discuss the entire process with you beforehand.

What can I do to keep flies out of my house?

The best preventative steps include ensuring all your window and door screens are in good repair, keeping both indoor and outdoor trash cans tightly sealed, and cleaning up food spills and pet waste promptly. Reducing moisture and eliminating standing water can also help significantly.

Is a single treatment enough to get rid of flies?

For a minor issue, a one-time treatment combined with removing the breeding source can sometimes be enough. However, for a persistent infestation, a successful strategy may require follow-up visits to break the fly life cycle. Our satisfaction guarantee ensures we will see the job through to completion.
