PC Professionals and Fly Traps
One of the biggest challenges pest control professionals face in the field is managing houseflies. Beyond being a nuisance to people, houseflies pose serious risks to food and product safety, sanitary infrastructure, and farm productivity. As a result, fly control is one of our top priorities.
During the summer, emergency service requests from businesses struggling with fly infestations often disrupt our work schedules. On top of that, the high costs and logistical difficulties of various control methods make the problem even more complex. When local fly populations surge, indoor prevention measures—such as lighted sticky traps, air curtains, and fly screens—may help, but they’re rarely enough on their own. Even chemical control efforts, whether applied inside or outside facilities, come with uncertainties. Factors like the type of pesticide, optimal application timing, facility restrictions, residual effectiveness, and potential insect resistance must all be carefully evaluated. Achieving ideal conditions is one of the biggest hurdles for our field teams.
Instead of spending excessive time, money, and effort on traditional fly control methods, businesses can now turn to next-generation housefly traps for an economic, sustainable, and highly effective solution. The first step is improving waste and manure management to enhance hygiene standards. Outdoors, the right trapping strategy can break the fly reproduction cycle, significantly reducing population density. When traps are correctly positioned in the right quantity, location, and height, businesses can achieve consistent fly control without the need for constant human labor or energy consumption. Compared to chemical treatments, routine trap maintenance is far simpler and eliminates emergency infestations while creating a safer, more comfortable environment.
Recent innovations in fly traps and natural attractants make it possible to tackle fly problems of all sizes and intensities. Every fly captured outdoors reduces the number that can invade indoor spaces. With proper placement and maintenance, a single trap can neutralize hundreds of thousands of flies over a season. If you need guidance on selecting the best trap or implementing an effective fly control strategy, our team is always available to assist.
