House flies, blowflies and small drain flies are a common complaint in South Brisbane through the warm months. Flies breed in rubbish, pet waste, compost and the slime inside drains, and a single source can produce large numbers in a short time. Apart from being annoying, flies land on food and benches after visiting bins, which is why most people want them gone quickly.
Getting rid of flies means finding where they are breeding. When you call, tell us where you see them most, whether they are large or tiny, and if you have pets, compost or a worm farm. The crew we book checks bins, drains and outdoor areas for the source, then treats resting surfaces and breeding spots. A fly visit usually covers:
- Wheelie bins and bin storage areas
- Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains
- Compost bins and pet areas
- Window frames and outdoor walls where flies rest
- Courtyards, balconies and garages
Between visits, rinse bins after collection day and keep lids shut tight. Wrap meat and food scraps before they go in the bin, pick up pet waste daily and scrub drain grates with a brush and hot water. Fitting fine mesh to windows and doors keeps flies out of the kitchen. Tiny flies hovering over the sink often point to a drain that needs scrubbing rather than a spray. Units close to busy streets and shared bin rooms often see more flies in summer, so tell your building manager if the source seems to be a shared area.
You get the price before the crew starts, based on the size of the home and outdoor areas in South Brisbane. For fly control, call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a nearby crew.
