With the advancement of liquid and dry bait. As well as the use of traps with bait and traps that have attractants and bait impregnated in them. These products not only work but have long term results, because of these factors F&F offers fly control service.
F&F applies bait and attractant sprays with bait around the exterior of the business away from doors and windows. This will help reduce the amount of flies near your business. When flies enter your business and they will enter we can’t stop the amount of flies that live outdoors from entering your business. However, you now have protection in your business for when they do enter.

This is providing that doors and windows are not left opened and if opened they have proper screening.
While the material last 60 – 90 days a lot depends on the amount of rain. This can affect the protection around the perimeter of the business. With this factor in mind we warranty all fly quarterly treatments for 30 days after our visit.
Phorid Flies
Phorid flies are about 1⁄64–1⁄4 in (½–6 mm) in length. When viewed from the side, there is a pronounced hump to the thorax. The color ranges from black or brown to yellowish. They have a characteristic wing venation. They are frequently found around flowers and moist decaying matter, although they can be found throughout the house. Most commonly they feed on decaying organic matter. Because they frequent unsanitary places they may transport various disease-causing organisms to food material.

Drain Flies
The nematoceran family Psychodidae (moth flies or drain flies) are small true flies (Diptera) with short, hairy bodies and wings giving them a “furry” moth-like appearance. The adults have long antennae and the wings are leaf-shaped, either slender or broad, with the most elementary wing venation of any Diptera, having little more than a series of parallel veins without crossveins. The larvae of the subfamilies Psychodinae, Sycoracinae and Horaiellinae live in aquatic to semi-terrestrial habitats, including bathroom sinks; some species are commonly nuisance pests in bathrooms.
