There are several small fly species that can become a major problem, particularly in commercial accounts such as food and beverage service areas, food preparation and processing facilities, commercial kitchens, garbage areas but also public toilets, showers or animal housing areas.
Small fly control can be a big challenge. Since small flies breed within the premises and have a short life cycle, they can multiply quickly when their food source and breeding sites are available. Even small amounts of organic debris can support a significant small fly population.
The key to successful control is breaking the lifecycle – and probably the most critical part of the integrated program is removing the breeding areas – thorough cleaning of the premises and removal of organic matter – particularly in drains.
Invade Bio Drain Cleaner and Invade Bio Foam are specialized drain cleaners that use natural microbes and citrus oil to cling to the sides of drains, break down and destroy the organic build-up and therefore eliminate the potential breeding site on drain walls.
Regular insecticide treatment will kill off the adults, but will not take care of the eggs or larvae. The Py-Matic automatic insecticide mister is a great option for on-going adult fly control.
In Summary, it has to be a holistic approach – to get effective control thorough inspection and then removal of all stages of the life cycle is imperative.
