How does cluster fly treatment work?
Our cluster fly control Manchester service starts with a survey of the loft and roof space where the flies are hibernating. Because they cluster in their thousands in hard-to-reach voids, the area has to be treated as a whole.
A BPCA-trained technician fogs the affected area using a specialist smoke generator or ULV machine, which reaches the flies wherever they are hiding.
Signs you have cluster flies
Cluster flies spend the summer in fields. When it turns cold they move into buildings to hibernate.
Flies in the loft
Large numbers clustered together in lofts, roof spaces and other quiet voids.
Flies at the windows
They are drawn to light, so they gather round windows in the living areas.
Slow, lazy flight
When a room warms up they wake and fly around in a sluggish, lethargic way.
A sickly smell
In large numbers they give off a distinctive sickly smell.
Every autumn
They tend to return to the same building to hibernate year after year.
Know your cluster fly
Cluster flies are a nuisance rather than a health risk. They are not known to carry disease, and finding them is not a sign of poor hygiene. They are simply looking for somewhere sheltered to sit out the winter.
Cluster fly control is part of our full pest control Manchester service, so the same team can deal with any other pests you find.

Cluster Fly Control Manchester FAQs
Why do I get cluster flies every year?
Cluster flies tend to use the same building to hibernate year after year, so the same loft is often affected each autumn.
Are cluster flies dangerous?
No. They are a nuisance, but they are not known to cause any risk to health, and they are not a sign of poor hygiene.
Why are the flies so slow?
They are hibernating. When the room around them warms up they wake and fly around sluggishly, often heading for the windows.
How do you get rid of cluster flies?
The affected area is fogged using a specialist smoke generator or ULV machine. This needs professional equipment and should be carried out by a pest control company.
How much does cluster fly treatment cost in Manchester?
It depends on the size of the property and how established the problem is. Call 0161 210 2536 for a quote. Commercial work is quoted after a survey.
