Fly Control in the North East

From £84 inc. VAT

Fly activity in homes and businesses can quickly become more than just an annoyance. Flies spread bacteria, contaminate surfaces and can damage hygiene standards — particularly in food environments. At Pest Shield, we provide professional fly control across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead and the wider North East, using an inspection-led approach focused on identifying sources, reducing activity and preventing recurrence.

Why Fly Problems Occur

Flies are attracted to:

• Food waste and spillages

• Warm, moist breeding areas

• Poorly managed bin stores

• Gaps, doors and open access points

Common species such as house flies, bluebottles and fruit flies often indicate an underlying hygiene or access issue rather than a standalone infestation.

Spraying visible flies without addressing breeding sources almost always leads to repeat problems.

Our Fly Control Process

1. Inspection & Source Identification

A qualified technician inspects:

• Waste storage and disposal areas

• Drains, gullies and floor channels

• Food preparation and storage zones

• Entry points such as doors, vents and windows

This allows us to identify breeding sources and prioritise the most effective control measures.

2. Targeted Treatment

Where appropriate, we apply professional-grade treatments to:

• Active fly harbourage and resting areas

• Breeding zones where safe and suitable

• High-risk internal and external locations

Treatments are selected to suit the environment and level of activity.

3. Prevention & Monitoring

Long-term fly control relies on prevention. We provide practical advice on:

• Improving waste management and cleaning routines

• Sealing access points and improving door discipline

• Installing fly screens or air curtains where appropriate

• Using monitoring devices to track activity levels

For businesses, monitoring supports trend analysis and compliance.

4. Follow-Up & Reporting

Where required, follow-up visits allow us to:

• Reassess fly activity

• Adjust treatment strategies

• Confirm prevention measures are effective

Each visit includes a clear electronic report detailing findings, actions taken and recommendations.

Preparing for Treatment

Before our visit:

• Remove unnecessary waste and food debris

• Avoid DIY sprays immediately beforehand

• Note where flies are most active

This helps us accurately identify sources and access routes.
