Flying Insect Control FAQs
We address top questions to help users make informed decisions.
Flying insect control refers to the targeted elimination of winged pests, like wasps, flies, moths, mosquitoes, and cluster flies, within homes, gardens, and businesses.
In London and Kent, it’s essential because many of these insects spread diseases, damage food and property, and pose health risks. A professional approach ensures safe, thorough removal and prevention of serious infestations.
Common signs include:
A sudden cluster of flies inside your home—often near food or bins.
Visible wasp nests near patios or eaves, especially mid-summer.
Moths or larvae causing damage to fabrics or stored food.
Swarms of midges or gnats around windows or indoor plants.
These indicators point to active breeding sites or entry points that need professional intervention.
Yes, especially flies and wasps. Flies can carry pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, contaminating food and surfaces with harmful bacteria.
Wasps and hornets can deliver painful stings, and some individuals, particularly children, may experience allergic reactions.
Attempting DIY nest removal is highly risky and may provoke aggressive wasps. Professional removal includes:
Evening treatment when wasps are less active.
Safe application of insecticides or physical removal.
Sealing of entry points to prevent re-nesting.
This method protects both you and your property.
Flies are attracted to properties by food waste, uncovered bins, sugary spills, and decaying organic matter. They also breed in damp environments such as drains, compost heaps, and pet waste. Flies reproduce very quickly; under warm conditions, some species can complete their lifecycle from egg to adult in just seven days. This rapid breeding is why fly infestations can escalate quickly if left untreated.
Professional pest control services use a range of methods to eliminate flying insects. These include targeted insecticide treatments, the safe removal of wasp nests, and the installation of fly traps or electronic fly control units in commercial premises. Pest controllers also provide advice on proofing, hygiene, and environmental management, such as removing breeding grounds and sealing entry points. This integrated approach ensures both immediate results and long-term protection.
DIY methods can sometimes help reduce small numbers of flying insects but are rarely effective against established infestations. Home remedies such as vinegar traps, peppermint sprays, or fly repellent solutions may deter insects temporarily, but they do not target nests or breeding areas. For lasting results and complete eradication, professional pest control is recommended.
You can reduce the risk of flying insects returning by taking preventative measures. Keep kitchen areas clean, store food in sealed containers, and empty bins regularly. Seal cracks, install fly screens on doors and windows, and avoid leaving standing water in gardens or drains. For businesses or properties with recurring problems, regular pest control monitoring can provide long-term protection against reinfestation.
