Behavior and habits
Each species breeds in a specific material: drains, overripe fruit, trash, or animal waste.
Why flies are a problem
Flies move bacteria from waste to food surfaces with every landing.
How Antex handles flies
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Find and remove the breeding source, keep drains scrubbed, and tightly lid all trash.

How do I get rid of flies?
