Flies are an irritating pest that can cause disruption in homes and business premises throughout Milton Keynes.
While flies aren’t as dangerous as some other flying insects because they don’t sting like wasps or eat fabrics like moths, they can still cause issues.
The main problems caused by flies are disease transmission and food contamination. Flies often eat decaying organic matter, including rotting food and dung, so when they land in food preparation areas, they can spread bacteria and viruses, causing food poisoning and other illnesses.
For business leaders, a fly infestation can cause irreparable damage to your reputation and, in extreme cases, cause your local authority to shut your site down until the flies are completely eradicated.
For homes and businesses throughout Milton Keynes, BH Pest Control offers expert fly control solutions. We can remove the infestation and then carry out pest proofing to stop other flies from entering your space. Call 01908 412488 to find out more.

Common Nuisance Flies Found In The UK
These are some of the common flies you’re likely to encounter in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area:
- House Flies: The house fly is the species most people imagine when they think of flies, and these common pests are major carriers of diseases due to their hairy bodies and enjoyment of both faeces and human food.
- Cluster Flies: Commonly found in rural areas of Milton Keynes, cluster flies breed in fields in the Spring and Summer, then move indoors as the weather gets colder in the Autumn, often finding their way into lofts.
- Drain Flies: Psychodidae, or drain flies, are small, furry flies that often live inside drains and any area with standing water.
- Horse Flies: Horse flies, and their close cousins deer flies, are common in rural parts of Milton Keynes and around farms.

Get Rid Of Your Fly Problem Fast With BH Pest Control
One of the main issues you’ll find when dealing with a fly infestation is that they’re very difficult to get rid of. DIY fly traps and insect sprays might catch or repel some flies, but they’re ineffective in stopping them in the long term.
In either residential or commercial kitchens, large light sources and an abundance of food, as well as the need for ventilation, all combine to create the perfect atmosphere for flies. In the summer, when the weather is warm, many properties across Milton Keynes end up suffering from an abundance of flies.
BH Pest Control can provide expert fly pest control to remove the existing flies and then proof the property to protect it from future fly problems.
For commercial kitchens and business properties, we can provide ongoing pest control support as part of our commercial pest control offering.
Our team can also advise you on the fitting of fly screens across your doors and windows to stop flies from being able to enter while still allowing you to ventilate your space and let in fresh air.

We also remove rodents and offer expert bird control, meaning BH Pest Control is the only pest control provider you need in Milton Keynes.
