Our Fly Control Process
1. Inspection & Identification
We inspect the property to identify the type of fly activity and look for possible breeding sources and harbourage areas.
2. Professional Treatment
Treatment is selected according to the species, environment and underlying cause of the problem rather than simply treating the adult flies you can see.
3. Prevention & Advice
We’ll advise on waste management, food hygiene, cleaning and other practical measures that can help reduce future fly activity.

Fly Control in Somerset and Chard
Based in Wadeford, near Chard, Warren investigates fly problems in local homes, rental properties and businesses.

Cluster Fly Treatment in Somerset
Groups of flies in a loft or at upstairs windows in autumn may be cluster flies seeking shelter for winter. Identification matters because several fly species can occur indoors. Warren can discuss an inspection, suitable control options and practical prevention advice for the building. Read our guide to cluster flies in autumn for more about seasonal activity and recurring problems.
Commercial Fly Control for Kitchens and Businesses
For persistent flies in a business, we investigate the type of fly, the areas affected and possible sources before recommending control measures. Our commercial pest control service can support monitoring and prevention, with advice appropriate to food areas, waste storage and the premises.
Fly Treatment: Your Questions Answered
Why do flies keep returning after I use fly spray?
Removing visible adult flies may leave the source or entry route unresolved. The next step depends on the species: some problems involve a breeding source, while cluster flies may enter a building for seasonal shelter. We investigate the evidence before recommending treatment.
Do flies in the loft mean the property is dirty?
Not necessarily. Cluster flies enter buildings for shelter, so their presence alone does not indicate poor hygiene. Other fly species can have different sources, which is why identification is important.
What information do you need for a fly-control quote?
Please provide your postcode, the type of property, where the flies appear and how long the problem has lasted. Clear photographs can help the initial discussion. Warren will explain whether an inspection is needed and discuss the proposed work and costs.
