Fly Control in Adamsville, Alabama

Fly control in Adamsville starts with finding the breeding source. Flies breed in garbage, pet waste, compost, and decaying organic matter, and the humid Alabama climate makes the breeding cycle fast and constant. A treatment that kills the adult flies without addressing the breeding source is a treatment that fails within days.

The fly problem is worse in the summer, when the heat and humidity accelerate the breeding cycle. The homes near the pasture land and the food service establishments in Adamsville see the heaviest fly pressure. The restaurants and food service businesses need a commercial program with documentation.

The flies Adamsville homes and businesses deal with

• House flies — the most common. They breed in garbage, pet waste, and decaying material, and they spread disease.
• Fruit flies — small flies that breed in overripe produce, fermenting liquids, and drains.
• Drain flies — small, moth-like flies that breed in the organic sludge inside drains.
• Blow flies — larger metallic green or blue flies that breed in animal waste and carrion.
• Cluster flies — slow-moving flies that enter homes in the fall to overwinter in attics and walls.

Why Adamsville gets flies

The climate is the main factor. The warm, humid Alabama weather accelerates the fly breeding cycle. A house fly can go from egg to adult in seven to ten days in the summer heat, and a single female can lay hundreds of eggs.

The food sources in Adamsville feed the population. Garbage, pet waste, compost piles, and the organic buildup in drains all support fly breeding. The food service and agricultural activity in the county add to the fly pressure, and the flies move into the homes and businesses around the sources.

How we treat flies in Adamsville

1. Inspect. A technician identifies the fly species and locates the breeding source. The inspection covers the garbage areas, the drains, the pet areas, and the exterior.
2. Eliminate the source. The breeding source is removed or treated. Garbage is sealed, drains are treated, and pet waste is cleaned up.
3. Treat the breeding sites. Residual sprays and baits are applied to the breeding and resting sites. Drain treatment is applied for drain flies.
4. Install monitoring. Fly light traps are installed for commercial kitchens. Sticky traps are used for monitoring in homes.
5. Schedule follow-up. The treatment is followed up to confirm the source is eliminated and the population is gone.

Preventing flies in your Adamsville home

• Keep garbage sealed. Use a can with a tight-fitting lid and take the trash out regularly.
• Clean up pet waste daily. Pet waste is a prime fly breeding site.
• Cover the compost. Compost piles should be covered and turned regularly.
• Clean the drains. Drain flies breed in the sludge inside drains. Clean the drains weekly.
• Store produce properly. Overripe fruit draws fruit flies. Keep produce refrigerated or sealed.
• Screen the windows and doors. Keep the screens in good repair to keep flies out.

Expert tip: In Adamsville, the fly call that is almost always misdiagnosed is the drain fly. The homeowner sees small flies in the bathroom and assumes they are fruit flies. Drain flies breed in the sludge inside the drain, and no amount of surface spray will fix them. Treat the drain, and the flies stop.
