There are a number of different varieties of flies found in the UK, but they all share one thing in common – their ability to spread disease.

House flies and blow flies are the most common flies in the UK, though fruit flies are a particular nuisance in commercial kitchens and anywhere that food is prepared, sold or stored.

Flies eat by regurgitating digestive juices onto the food source thus liquefying it, then sucking it up, taking with it any bacteria present. As they fly from rotting meat or animal droppings onto food for human consumption they carry these bacteria with them and therefore spread disease wither from further regurgitation or in their faeces (known as fly-spotting). As well as carrying gastroenteritis, dysentery, typhoid, cholera and tuberculosis, they can bring with them intestinal worms and their eggs.

For restaurants and businesses that prepare food, fly screens and electric insect killers are often the best method of keeping flies at bay, but these need to be positioned accurately to ensure their effectiveness. Our fully trained staff can recommend the most appropriate proofing and preventive measures to avoid further infestations, and can also carry these out for you as part of our service.
