How does fly control work?
Fly control works by finding where the flies are breeding and removing or treating that source. Killing the flies in the air helps for a day, but a single bin, drain or rotting spot can produce hundreds more within a week in warm weather.
Each fly points to a different source. House flies breed in bins, compost and pet waste. Blowflies breed in meat scraps and dead animals, and a sudden cloud of them indoors often means something has died in the roof or walls. Drain flies breed in the slime inside drains, and fruit flies in fermenting fruit and bins. We find the source, clean or treat it, then treat the surfaces flies rest on.

House flies, blowflies, drain flies and fruit flies
The four flies on the client list each point to a different breeding source, so identifying yours tells us where to look.
House fly
Musca domestica
- What it looks like
- Grey, about 6 to 7 mm, with four dark stripes on the back.
- Where it breeds
- Bins, compost, animal droppings and rotting food.
- House fly control
- Bins cleaned and sealed, breeding sites treated, resting surfaces treated.
Blowfly
Calliphoridae family
- What it looks like
- Larger, shiny metallic green or blue, and noisy.
- Where it breeds
- Meat scraps, pet food and dead animals, including in roofs and walls.
- What it means
- Blowflies indoors often mean a dead rodent or possum close by.
Drain fly
Psychodidae family
- What it looks like
- Tiny, fuzzy, moth like flies resting on bathroom walls.
- Where it breeds
- The slime film inside shower, basin and floor drains.
- How we treat it
- Drains cleaned and treated to remove the breeding film.
Fruit fly control indoors
Fruit flies are the fourth fly on the list. They come in on fruit and breed wherever something is fermenting.
Fruit bowls
Overripe bananas, stone fruit and tomatoes left out on the bench.
Kitchen bins
Food scraps and juice in bins and recycling that is not rinsed.
Sink drains
Food build up in the kitchen sink drain and disposal unit.
Pantry and cupboards
Forgotten potatoes, onions and spilled juice or wine.
Sudden swarm of blowflies inside? Look for the source.
A cloud of blowflies at a window, especially in one room, often means an animal has died in the roof, wall or sub floor. We can find and remove it before more flies hatch.
How our fly pest control finds the source
Every fly pest control job starts outside and works in. We check bins, compost, pet areas, drains, sub floor vents and roof spaces for breeding sites and dead animals.
Once the source is found, we clean or treat it, then treat the surfaces flies rest on around doors, windows and bins. For businesses, we set up a fly programme with regular checks.
- Bins and compost
- Drains inside and out
- Pet areas
- Roof and sub floor vents
- Resting surfaces treated
- Advice to keep them down

What sets your final fly control price
- Which fly. Drain flies need drain work; house flies need bin and yard work.
- Source found. A dead animal in a roof adds removal and deodorising.
- Size of the property. More drains, bins and outdoor areas take longer.
- Commercial kitchens. Food businesses need a documented programme.
- Access. Roof voids and sub floors take more time.
- Repeat visits. Programmes and heavy cases include follow ups.
Is fly treatment safe, and will the flies come back?
The two questions people ask before booking fly control.
Kitchens, kids and pets
Licensed technicians apply every product exactly as the label directs, away from food and food surfaces.
We tell you what to cover or put away before we arrive and when treated areas can be used again.
Keeping flies down
Flies come back while a breeding source remains, so sealed bins, clean drains and screens matter as much as the treatment.
The treatment is covered by written warranty terms on your job record, explained before you agree.

Fly control questions, answered
Cost, sources and how to get rid of flies for good. Ask us anything else directly.
How much does fly control cost in Melbourne?
Fly inspection and treatment starts from $139, a full treatment with source works from $189, and commercial fly programmes from $279. The final price depends on the source and the property, and you get it in writing before we start.
How do I get rid of flies in the house?
Find the source first: bins, compost, pet waste, drains or a dead animal. Clean or remove it, keep bins sealed and fit screens. A professional treatment then deals with the flies already hatched.
How do I get rid of drain flies?
Drain flies breed in the slime inside drains, so the drain needs cleaning and treating. Sprays in the air do not reach the breeding film.
Why are there so many blowflies in one room?
Blowflies breed in dead animals and meat. A sudden swarm in one room often means a rodent or possum has died in the wall or roof. See our dead animal removal service.
Does fruit fly control need a treatment?
Usually not. Removing overripe fruit, rinsing bins and cleaning the sink drain fixes most fruit fly problems. We treat when they persist.
Why are there so many flies in Melbourne in summer?
Flies breed much faster in warm weather, so a bin or compost heap that produces a few flies in winter can produce hundreds in a hot Melbourne week. Keeping bins sealed and rinsed matters most from November to March.
Do fly screens and fly spray help?
Screens keep flies out and spray knocks down the ones inside, but neither stops the breeding. They work best alongside finding and treating the source.
