With the summer drawing to a close and the colder weather beginning to set in Cluster fly season will be upon us and Millennium Pest Control Ltd conduct cluster fly treatments in the; Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, and Kings Lynn area. Cluster flies will often enter houses in the autumn in large numbers as they will be looking for somewhere warm to hibernate over the winter. People will often find them in their loft spaces in the cracks and crevices as this tends to be the warmer part of the building. They will not bite or sting humans and they are not particularly a huge health risk to the public however, their vast numbers make them an issue for many house owners

 

 

A cluster fly is very similar to a general house fly and are a dark, non-metallic grey with light and dark splotches on their abdomens. You often discover them in a loft space or at the very top of a building. It is very difficult to stop them getting in as they will fit through the smallest of cracks and crevices and we will often have to do periodic treatments to break the cycle of them. The difficulty is that they leave a pheromone behind so that others can follow season to season.
