Flies are insects that belong to the order Diptera and are characterized by having only one pair of wings. Flies play an important ecological role in nature as pollinators and provide food sources for other animals. However, fly pest control is often necessary when flies infest properties.
A fly infestation can be harmful to humans in a number of ways, including:
If a small fly problem is left uncontrolled, it has the potential to turn into a serious infestation. Some fly species are able to mature from eggs to adults in just seven days. Understanding how to keep flies away can help prevent these pests from multiplying and becoming a larger issue in your home or surroundings.

As your local experts in fly pest control, Ehrlich technicians have extensive experience treating a wide range of fly infestations. Our teams throughout the U.S. are highly trained and use the latest fly control technologies.
Proper identification of the fly species helps locate breeding sites and achieve effective, long-lasting results. Understanding what attracts flies to your property is also crucial in preventing future outbreaks. Ehrlich's treatment programs target both adult flies and their larva, helping to break the life cycle.
Ehrlich technicians use a range of fly control treatment methods, including but not limited to:
Whether you're dealing with house flies, drain flies, or stable flies, we offer tailored pest control for flies. If you’ve been searching for a trusted fly exterminator near you, look no further.
Flies can be very problematic for businesses and homeowners when they gain access to a property. Flies can quickly breed and contaminate food sources. Ehrlich pest control offers customers a number of indoor fly control solutions.
In addition to employing a number of treatments to prevent flies from entering a building, Ehrlich technicians will in some situations treat properties with fly baits and liquid applications.
We always will explore non-chemical treatment options first before recommending an insecticide treatment. If a chemical treatment is necessary, customers can rest assured knowing that a highly trained technician will apply the treatment safely and effectively.
For some commercial businesses, especially commercial kitchens, Ehrlich technicians may recommend the installation of insect light traps. Many fly species are attracted to certain wavelengths of ultra-violet (UV) light. Insect light traps can control flies indoors 24-hours-a-day.
Keeping flies from entering your property starts with effective outdoor fly control. At Ehrlich, our technicians are trained to apply targeted treatments that help manage fly activity around outdoor areas. This includes patios, dumpsters, loading docks, and access points where fly control measures are essential.
Our team may suggest exclusion services, such as installing self-closing doors or tight-fitting screens, to help stop them from getting inside. These physical barriers work alongside other fly control methods to improve results.
Sanitation also plays a role. Removing standing water, cleaning garbage cans, and disposing of decaying vegetation can make your property less appealing to flies. We help identify and reduce these attractants during our inspection.
Whether you're dealing with stable flies or house flies, Ehrlich can help support and protect your outside environment.

Different types of flies need different approaches. Knowing what kind of fly you're dealing with helps us apply the right pest control method. Here are the most common types our technicians see.
Fruit flies are tiny, around one-eighth of an inch long, often with red eyes and tan or light brown bodies. Dark-eyed fruit flies are also a problem. Similar in size, but with dark bodies and eyes, they can be a problem in drains or open sewer pipes.
They usually appear near ripe or rotting produce, spilled juices, and open containers. These flies breed quickly and lay eggs on fermenting organic matter, particularly in kitchens and areas with poor sanitation.
To reduce fruit fly activity, keep counters clean, rinse recyclables, and cover food. Our fruit fly exterminators will identify breeding sources and recommend tailored treatments to remove active pests and prevent recurrence.
Drain flies, sometimes called moth flies, thrive in damp areas with decaying organic matter, especially in drains and sinks. They're small, fuzzy, and grayish, with wings that give them a moth-like appearance.
Eliminating the buildup in drains is key to managing drain flies. Ehrlich technicians provide effective fly control by targeting both adult flies and larvae at the source, helping prevent repeat fly infestations.
House flies are one of the most frequently encountered pests inside homes and businesses. They have gray bodies with four dark stripes and prefer places with exposed garbage cans or food waste.
They can carry bacteria and are often found around pet waste, compost, and uncovered food. Ehrlich offers safe and effective house fly removal options that minimize disruption and reduce fly activity.
Cluster flies are larger and slower-moving than house flies. They usually show up in the fall, looking for warm spots to overwinter, often in attics, basements, or wall voids. Though not dangerous, their large numbers can be frustrating.
Our technicians will inspect for entry points, help seal access, and offer practical solutions. If you're noticing a seasonal uptick in indoor flies, especially around windows, it may be time to address the cluster flies before the issue spreads.
Where there is a fly problem, the risk for food contamination is extremely high. This is a big concern for restaurant owners as it can potentially make customers fall ill, tainting the business’s reputation. The presence of flies in a restaurant kitchen will also guarantee a failed health inspection by any local health department. Very quickly, rotting food and uncleanly drains can attract hundreds of tiny fruit flies. Before you know it, the problem is out of your control.
Ehrlich has just the right treatment methods and equipment to remove the fly problem from your café, bar, or restaurant. Our commercial pest control experts will first assess the risk and then find a fly control solution that is unique to the needs of your establishment. Services can be carried out during non-business hours to avoid disrupting operations. To discover what Ehrlich can do for your restaurant, give us a call at 800-837-5520.
When it comes to fly control, you need a system that is energy efficient, effective and environmentally friendly. Lumnia is proven best in class and is the first LED unit that genuinely works. Using LED technology, Lumnia is able to effectively monitor and control not only flies but also all other flying insects.
How does it work?
The Lumnia range uses high attraction output LED lamps and unique glue boards that are optimized to catch the most flies while also reducing power consumption at your facility. The insect light traps are made to suit a wide variety of indoor environments where flies may be present, as well as a vast selection of industries with specific requirements.
Benefits of Lumnia:
Yes, a professional fly exterminator can help reduce fly populations and treat the root causes of an infestation, not just the visible flies.
Without proper treatment, a fly infestation can continue indefinitely. With the right fly control strategy, you can break the breeding cycle.
You may have exposed food items, standing water, or uncovered garbage cans that attract flies. Entry points like open windows or gaps in doors can also be a cause.
Traps and improved sanitation may help, but long-term house fly removal often requires professional pest control for flies. DIY efforts rarely address all breeding sources.
