Take Back Your Home & Yard From Pesky Flies
Flies multiply fast wherever moisture and food residues build up—kitchens, floor drains, garbage bins, and patios. Our Boise team finds the breeding source, eliminates active adults, and prevents the next wave. Call 208-795-3298 for a free inspection and same-day scheduling.
Why Flies Show Up—and Why They’re a Problem
Flies are attracted to moisture and organic residues: sink and floor drains, garbage disposals, recycling bins, compost, pet waste, and over-watered landscaping. Besides being a nuisance, many species can mechanically transfer bacteria when they land on food and prep surfaces. Quick source elimination plus targeted treatment stops them from cycling back.
Common issues
- Food contamination from landing on prep areas and exposed foods
- Odors and constant swarming around doors, patios, and trash
- Recurring infestations when drains, bins, and moisture problems aren’t corrected
Flies We Commonly See in Boise-Metro
- House flies – hover around doors, trash, and patios; follow odors from bins and garages
- Fruit flies – small, tan; breed in ripening produce, recycling bins, and sticky spills
- Drain/moth flies – fuzzy, heart-shaped wings; breed in gel-like biofilm inside drains and disposals
- Blow flies – metallic; appear around garbage or animal waste
- Cluster flies (seasonal) – gather at sunny windows; over-winter in wall voids and attics
Signs to watch for
- Adults reappearing daily even after swatting
- Tiny larvae or gelatinous film inside drains
- Fruit flies hovering over produce, sticky soda spills, or recycling totes
Our Fly Control Process
1) Same-Day Inspection and Source Mapping
We trace breeding sources indoors and out across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Middleton, and Garden City.
We check
- Floor and sink drains, garbage disposals, and dishwasher/ice maker lines
- Recycling and trash handling, compost bins, and pet waste areas
- Leaks, standing water, irrigation overspray, and over-watered beds near doors
- Door sweeps, screens, and gaps at thresholds and utility penetrations
2) Source Elimination
- Enzymatic drain treatments to break down biofilm where drain flies breed
- Deep cleaning guidance for bins, disposals, and sticky spill zones
- Moisture fixes: repair leaks, improve airflow, adjust irrigation
3) Targeted Knockdown and Control
- Precise applications in fly pressure zones and exterior entry points
- Insect growth regulators (as appropriate) to break the life cycle
- Professional traps/UV light units for persistent interior hotspots (kitchens, mudrooms)
4) Exclusion and Prevention
- Repair screens; install or adjust door sweeps and weather-stripping
- Recommendations for trash storage, recycling prep (rinse containers), and compost placement
- Exterior sanitation plan to keep attractants away from doorways
5) Follow-Up and Maintenance
We recheck pressure points and adjust placements. Seasonal maintenance is available to keep patios and entryways clear through warm months.
Prevention Checklist
- Keep produce covered or refrigerated; wipe sticky spills promptly
- Rinse recyclables; keep lids closed on trash and compost
- Treat and scrub drains periodically with an enzymatic cleaner (not just bleach)
- Fix leaks and eliminate standing water; don’t over-irrigate near doors
- Bag pet waste and move bins away from entries
- Repair torn screens and install/adjust door sweeps
