How to get rid of cluster flies
The best way to stop a cluster fly infestation is to prevent them from getting in. Like with other pests, making sure that all cracks and spaces are sealed in your home’s siding, near where the roof meets walls, roofing tiles, and screens that lead into attics or provide access to spaces between walls and siding.
Of course, one of the best ways to get rid of cluster flies is to get your home treated before winter arrives by a trained fly control technician. Ehrlich has the tools and knowledge to spot places where cluster flies can get in and where they might like to hide. Our technicians can then provide your home with a treatment plan to help remove cluster flies and other pests from using your home as their winter vacation spot.

Cluster fly traps and DIY methods
Some homeowners try fly traps to catch adult flies. Light traps or sticky flypaper may help reduce visible numbers. However, these methods rarely address the root issue, such as flies hiding inside walls or attics. DIY insecticide sprays or vacuuming may help with surface-level issues, but they don’t prevent re-entry. For long-term fly control, it's best to call in trained technicians.
