Pinetown & Durban Flies Pest Control
Houseflies pose more than just an annoyance; they are notorious carriers of numerous diseases, including various gastrointestinal illnesses like Salmonella and dysentery. Consequently, it’s crucial to prevent them from infiltrating your home and congregating around entertainment areas.
However, houseflies are not the sole pest flies causing trouble in homes and businesses. Vinegar or fermentation flies, often found in kitchens, and drain flies can be equally vexing and resistant to control efforts.
At SkillPro Pest Control, we specialize in executing professional fly treatment programs and crafting comprehensive fly management strategies. Our goal is to ensure your home or business remains free from the nuisance of flies, safeguarding your environment.

How we get rid of Flies
There are three main elements to a successful fly control program:
- Eliminate or treat fly breeding sites
- Carry out fly treatment to eliminate flies and larvae already present
- Apply treatments, fly traps or fly zappers to control new flies entering the area
All fly problems occur because there are suitable fly breeding sites in or around the building. Although houseflies, vinegar flies (fermentation flies) and drain flies breed in different locations in different materials, most of these fly breeding sites can be solved with improved hygiene practices. Infestation” section below.
Housefly treatments:
If conditions allow, for indoor treatments we can carry out a space spray / fog rooms where there are significant fly numbers. Treating indoor surfaces where flies rest will deal with flies when they land. We will also treat garbage areas, both inside and outside.
For outdoor fly problems which cannot be reduced by eliminating breeding sites (eg. flies may be coming from neighbouring properties), treating the outdoor surfaces of buildings where flies rest, can help reduce the population.
Otherwise it will be necessary to implement the fly prevention treatments to bring the fly numbers down over time (hours to days).
Vinegar fly and drain fly infestations are best dealt with by eliminating the breeding sites
Preventing houseflies entering a room or building can be best achieved by keeping windows and doors closed or by installing well-fitted insect screens.
However, sometimes it is not possible to keep doors closed, as is the case with many cafes and restaurants. In such situations, in addition to installing insect screens that allow human entry but minimise fly entry, a range of fly prevention treatments can be used to eliminate flies that enter a room or building:
Fly Zappers are a popular choice to eliminate flies. SkillPro Pest Control will help you select the best model for your situation and ensure optimal placement.
Depending on the facility, surface treatments using residual insecticides will eliminate flies that land on the treated surfaces.
There are a variety of fly traps available but as these can be a bit unsightly, their use is best confined to areas where aesthetics in not an issue.
We will always discuss any safety concerns you may have before carrying out a treatment. When we carry out a spray treatment, it will be necessary to keep children and pets out of the area until the treatment is dry. We always choose the products with the best safety and environmental profile.
As many fly problems occur in and around food preparation areas, our fly treatment programs are developed to ensure there is no contamination of food or food preparation surfaces.
Our fly treatments will get rid of the fly problem, but it will be necessary to carry out the steps to eliminate fly breeding sites and prevent flies entering the property to get maximum control and prevent re-infestation. In commercial accounts, it will be necessary to have an ongoing fly management program to keep fly issues to a minimum and comply with any food establishment regulations.
