Dealing with Cluster Flies & Fleas

Cluster Flies & Fleas Control in the Cotswolds

Cluster flies and fleas are common pests in UK homes. Cluster flies gather in lofts during autumn, while fleas cause itchy bites for people and pets. Our pest control specialists provide safe treatments to eradicate infestations quickly.

When are Cluster Flies & Fleas Most Common?

Cluster flies appear in autumn as they look for places to overwinter. Fleas are more common in summer and autumn, especially in homes with pets. Both can become a nuisance if left untreated indoors.

Signs of a Cluster Flies & Fleas Problem

Cluster flies gather in large groups on windows and in lofts. Fleas are seen as small jumping insects in carpets or bedding. Flea bites, especially on ankles and legs, are a key warning sign.

Damage and Risks caused by Cluster Flies & Fleas

Cluster flies are mainly a nuisance, leaving mess when dying in large numbers. Fleas cause irritation, allergic reactions, and discomfort for both humans and pets. Flea infestations can spread quickly throughout a home.

When to Call Pest Control

If you see repeated fly swarms each autumn, or you’re suffering flea bites that sprays don’t solve, it’s time to call professionals. DIY treatments rarely stop infestations fully.

How We Remove Cluster Flies & Fleas

Cluster flies are treated with insecticidal sprays or fogging in lofts. Flea control includes spraying carpets, skirting boards, and soft furnishings. Several visits may be needed to break the flea life cycle.

How to Stop Cluster Flies & Fleas Coming Back

Seal entry points in lofts to reduce cluster fly access. For fleas, wash pet bedding regularly, vacuum carpets, and treat pets with vet-approved flea control. Regular cleaning reduces risk of return.
