Fly Control in Aliceville, Alabama

Fly control in Aliceville starts with finding the breeding source. The farmland around town is a major source of fly pressure — the agricultural waste and the animal operations breed flies, and they move into the homes and the businesses on the edges of town.

The humid climate accelerates the breeding cycle. A house fly can go from egg to adult in seven to ten days in the summer heat. The treatment that addresses the adult flies without the breeding source fails within days.

The flies Aliceville homes and businesses deal with

• House flies — breed in garbage, pet waste, and decaying material.
• Fruit flies — breed in overripe produce and drains.
• Drain flies — breed in the sludge inside drains.
• Blow flies — larger metallic flies that breed in animal waste.
• Farm flies — the stable flies and the face flies around the animal operations.

Expert tip: In Aliceville, 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.

Why the farmland adds to the fly problem

The agricultural activity in Pickens County is a constant source of fly pressure. The animal operations, the grain storage, and the crop waste all breed flies, and the flies move from the fields into the homes and the businesses on the edges of town. The homes that border the farmland get the heaviest pressure in the summer, especially after the fields are worked or the silage is moved. The commercial kitchens in town add their own fly breeding sites, and the combination of the farmland pressure and the kitchen waste makes Aliceville a high fly-pressure area.

The treatment difference between house flies and drain flies

House flies need source elimination and baiting at the breeding sites. Drain flies need drain treatment with a gel or foam product. The misdiagnosis is common. A homeowner treats the house flies with a spray and wonders why the small flies in the bathroom keep coming back. The answer is almost always the drain. The treatment is different, and the result is different when the right pest is identified.
