Fly Control in Burlington, Vermont

Fly control in Burlington handles the nuisance flies that follow the old homes, the restaurants, and the seasonal calendar. The cluster fly is the headline — the fly that feeds on the earthworms in the soil and gathers on the sunny south walls of the Burlington homes in the fall, entering the attics and the wall voids through the gaps around the eaves and the windows. The house flies and the drain flies are the restaurant and the kitchen concern, and the fruit flies follow the produce and the waste. The professional fly program combines the exterior and the interior treatment, the void treatment, and the sealing that keeps the flies out.

The Burlington fly species

• Cluster fly — the large, slow-moving fly that gathers on the warm walls in the fall and enters the attic and the wall voids; the most common Burlington fly call.
• House fly — the common fly that follows the food and the waste in the homes and the restaurants.
• Drain fly — the small, moth-like fly that breeds in the drain slime and the organic buildup in the sinks and the floor drains.
• Fruit fly — the tiny fly that follows the ripe produce, the fermenting liquids, and the compost.
• Face fly and the stable fly — the occasional pests that follow the livestock and the rural edges.

Where the flies are in Burlington

• The attics and the wall voids — the cluster flies that entered through the eave gaps and the soffit vents.
• The south-facing walls — the cluster flies gathering on the warm exterior walls in the fall.
• The restaurant and the commercial kitchens — the house flies and the drain flies in the food service.
• The sinks and the floor drains — the drain flies breeding in the organic buildup.
• The produce bins and the compost — the fruit flies in the kitchens and the storage areas.

How fly control works

1. Inspection. The technician identifies the species, the breeding and the entry sites, and the extent of the infestation.
2. Exterior treatment. The perimeter and the south wall are treated with the timed-release insecticide before the fly gathering season.
3. Interior treatment. The attic and the void spaces are treated for the cluster flies that are already inside.
4. Exclusion. The eave gaps, the soffit vents, and the window frames are sealed to prevent the future entry.
5. Commercial program. The fly light traps, the drain treatments, and the door exclusion are installed for the restaurant and the food service accounts.

The fall cluster fly window

The cluster fly treatment in Burlington is timed to the calendar. The exterior perimeter application needs to go down in the late September, before the flies start gathering on the south walls. The interior void treatment is done at the same time to catch the flies that are already inside. The homeowners who book the treatment in the October are paying for the flies that are already in the attic, and the exterior treatment alone will not solve the problem once the entry has happened.

The cluster fly in the Burlington attic in the winter is the fly that found the gap in the eave in the October. The homeowners who seal the eave gaps, the soffit vents, and the window frames in the summer are the ones who do not hear the buzzing in the attic in the January.
