Flies in your business can be more than just a nuisance—they can contaminate products, spread diseases, and jeopardise food safety, damaging your reputation and audit scores. However, a robust fly control program can help you regain control and maintain a safe, clean environment.
What is Comprehensive Fly Control?
Comprehensive fly control involves the integration of various fly control products with professional services and maintenance to create a strong defence strategy. This approach includes both indoor and outdoor fly control, going further than just the installation of fly control devices.
This method takes into account the biology and life cycle of flies, as well as environmental factors that contribute to their presence. It’s a form of integrated pest management (IPM) that tackles the root causes of infestations and emphasises long-term prevention. At Rentokil, our IPM program is based on four key principles: exclusion, restriction, destruction, and monitoring.
- Exclusion: Keeping pests from entering the premises.
- Restriction: Reducing access to food sources and potential hiding places.
- Destruction: Eliminating existing infestations.
- Monitoring: Conducting regular inspections to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
The ultimate goal is to eliminate current fly populations and prevent future infestations, ensuring that your fly control measures remain effective over time.
Components of Comprehensive Fly Control
- Behavioural Insights: Using knowledge of fly life cycles and biology to inform protective measures.
- Exclusion Methods: Implementing outdoor control measures, proper sanitation, and organic waste management to eliminate breeding sites.
- Restriction and Destruction Solutions: Employing insect light traps (ILTs) and fly traps, along with approved chemical controls when appropriate and safe.
- Regular Monitoring: Conducting frequent inspections to stop infestations before they escalate.
Benefits of Comprehensive Fly Control for Businesses
- Enhanced Health and Safety: Proactive measures reduce contamination risks and potential health hazards, creating a safer environment for customers and staff.
- Protects Your Reputation: Effective fly control boosts customer trust, especially crucial for businesses in the food and health sectors.
- Tailored Solutions: Our technicians customise fly control programs based on specific business needs, such as the type of fly, tolerance levels, and building characteristics.
- Cost Savings: Focusing on prevention reduces the need for expensive reactive pest control measures.
