The lights are fitted with glue boards that trap the flies, allowing for fly control in food preparation areas. Our technicians will install the light traps in the appropriate area for maximum control.

Bio-Foaming Application : The organic slime that builds up in drains is the preferred location for drain flies to feed and breed.

Fly Bait : Fly baits can be utilized as part of a comprehensive control strategy. We deploy fly bait stations that subtly and effectively control flying insects around your home or business. The baits contain powerful attractants and active ingredients that deliver immediate results along with residual protection.
Contact and Residual Treatments: The sheer numbers of a fly population left unchecked may necessitate rapid knockdown using a contact insecticide.
