I was very pleased with our pest service today. We were having an issue with ants in a couple areas. With the treatment and stop back by Mike as well as some suggestions on sealing them out, so far so good.

Get Rid of Flies in Your Home
Most homeowners are surprised by how fast fly infestations develop. Impact Pest Control provides fast, effective fly pest control designed to eliminate the source and restore comfort to your home. We’ll find the breeding site, eliminate the infestation, and help keep your home fly-free.
How to Get Rid of Flies (The Right Way)
Most people start with traps or sprays, but those only address what you can see. The real issue is hidden breeding sources.
Effective fly control requires breaking the life cycle completely:
- Identify whether you’re dealing with house flies, fruit flies, drain flies, gnats, or something else.
- Locate where flies breed
- Remove or treat the organic material supporting egg-laying
- Eliminate adult flies already inside the home
- Prevent new fly infestations from forming
Without removing the fly breeding site, traps and sprays only provide temporary relief. For lasting relief you can count on, you need professional pest control.
Why are there so many Flies in my House?
Not all house fly issues look the same. Here are the most common signs of developing infestations:
Constant Adult Flies
Seeing adult flies regularly indoors, especially in kitchens or near windows, is often the first sign.
Sudden Population Spikes
A noticeable increase in fly populations usually means a nearby breeding cycle where adult flies have already laid eggs.
Trash or Food Attraction
If flies gather around garbage, fruit, or dirty dishes, organic material is likely fueling reproduction.
Drain or Moisture Activity
Flies around sinks, drains, or damp areas may indicate hidden organic buildup.
Outdoor to Indoor Movement
Flies entering from outside often signal a nearby external fly breeding site.
Fly Traps vs Real Fly Extermination
Many homeowners try fly traps or store-bought fly bait as a first step. These tools can help reduce visible activity, but they rarely solve the full problem. A professional fly exterminator focuses on eliminating both the visible insects and the hidden conditions that sustain them.

Traps attract and capture adult flies but do not eliminate eggs or breeding sources. Professional fly exterminators use home- and family-safe fly killers that address the root cause of the infestation
Fly Bait
Baits can reduce house fly populations, but as long as house flies are able to lay eggs and continue breeding, they will always come back. That’s why baits and traps are most effective when used as part of a larger pest control strategy.
Why Professional Pest Control Matters
Neither traps nor bait address the breeding sites of flies, which is why infestations often return. Professional house fly pest control kills flies at the source, so they don’t come back.

Contact usHow can I kill house flies?
Killing individual flies is possible, but it rarely solves the full problem. Most homeowners use sprays, swatters, or traps to eliminate visible insects, but the real issue is usually hidden. House flies reproduce in organic material like trash, food waste, and decaying debris. If those breeding sources are not removed, new flies will continue appearing within days. Effective pest control for flies requires targeting both adult flies and the areas where they are reproducing.
How long do house flies live?
On average, adult house flies live about 15 to 30 days. However, their short lifespan is offset by extremely fast reproduction. A single female can lay hundreds of eggs during her lifetime, and those eggs can hatch in as little as a day under warm conditions. This is why even a small infestation can quickly turn into a large population if breeding conditions are present.
What kills flies?
What kills flies depends on the stage of the life cycle.
- Adult flies: Can be reduced with sprays, fly bait, and traps
- Eggs and larvae: Require removal of organic breeding material and targeted treatment
- Breeding sites: Must be cleaned or treated to prevent re-infestation
The most effective long-term solution is not a single product, but a combination of sanitation, source removal, and professional pest control that interrupts the full cycle.
Can pest control get rid of flies?
Yes. Professional pest control is one of the most effective ways to eliminate recurring fly problems. A trained technician doesn’t just treat visible insects. They locate hidden breeding sources such as drains, garbage areas, compost buildup, or outdoor organic waste. By eliminating these sources and treating active areas, pest control stops the cycle that keeps bringing flies back. This approach is especially important when DIY methods fail repeatedly.
How to control flies inside the house?
Controlling flies indoors requires a mix of sanitation, exclusion, and source elimination.
Key steps include:
- Removing or sealing food waste and organic debris
- Cleaning drains where organic buildup can accumulate
- Keeping trash tightly sealed and emptied frequently
- Using traps or bait to reduce adult activity temporarily
- Identifying and eliminating any hidden breeding areas
Without addressing the source, indoor fly control is only temporary. Even small amounts of organic material can restart the infestation.
Why are there so many flies in my house?
A sudden increase in flies usually means there is a nearby breeding source.
Common causes include:
- Overflowing or unsealed trash bins
- Pet waste that has not been removed quickly
- Rotting food or forgotten produce
- Dirty drains or garbage disposals with organic buildup
- Nearby outdoor sources such as compost, dumpsters, or decaying vegetation
Flies are highly sensitive to smell and can detect organic material from a distance. Once they find a suitable breeding site, they reproduce quickly, which is why populations can seem to appear “overnight.”
