Flies & Ants
Fly & Ant Control Luton
Flies and ants may seem like minor pests at first, but they can quickly become a nuisance if left unchecked. Flies are drawn to food waste and warm indoor spaces, while ants often enter properties in search of food and moisture.
Once they find a reliable source, they tend to return in large numbers, making the problem harder to manage with basic household treatments.
Flies are a particular concern in kitchens, food preparation areas, and bins, as they can transfer bacteria picked up from waste and outdoor surfaces.
Ants, although not usually dangerous on their own, can contaminate food and spread throughout cupboards, worktops, and wall cavities. In some cases, ant nests may be located inside the property or just outside the building, allowing the infestation to persist.
Effective fly and ant control involves more than simply removing what you can see. Identifying entry points, nesting areas, and attractants is key to long term results.
Professional treatment helps reduce current activity while also addressing the underlying cause, lowering the chance of the problem returning once the immediate infestation has been dealt with.
Dangers Of Flies & Ants
Flies are widely regarded as one of the most unhygienic pests found in homes and businesses. They regularly come into contact with waste, animal droppings, and decaying matter, picking up bacteria that can then be transferred onto food, work surfaces, and utensils.
This increases the risk of food poisoning and stomach related illnesses, particularly in kitchens and food handling environments.
Ants may appear less harmful, but they can still cause problems when present in large numbers. As they move between indoor and outdoor areas, they can contaminate food stores and preparation surfaces. Some species also bite or sting, which can be uncomfortable and, in rare cases, cause allergic reactions.
Their ability to form large colonies means a small issue can quickly grow if left untreated.
Both flies and ants can also indicate underlying hygiene or structural issues, such as accessible food sources, moisture, or entry points around doors and windows.
Ignoring early signs often allows infestations to spread further, making control more disruptive and costly in the long run.
