Fly Control & Elimination
Professional fly control for homes and businesses. We eliminate flies at their source and prevent them from returning.
Fly Problems Are More Than Annoying
Flies aren't just a nuisance – they're a serious health hazard. House flies and other species land on garbage, feces, and rotting material, then transfer bacteria and pathogens to your food and surfaces. For businesses, flies can lead to health code violations and damaged reputation.
At Matar Pest Control, we identify the fly species, locate breeding sources, and implement comprehensive control measures. Our approach eliminates current flies and prevents future infestations.
🚨 Health Risks from Flies
- Spread E. coli, Salmonella, and 100+ other pathogens
- Contaminate food and food preparation surfaces
- Transmit dysentery, cholera, and typhoid
- Can cause intestinal infections and food poisoning
- Some species bite and can cause painful reactions
