Don’t let cluster flies take over your home this fall. Late August through September is the critical time to protect your house before these pests sneak inside to overwinter. At Quinn’s Pest Management, we provide professional, targeted treatments to stop cluster flies in their tracks, keeping your home comfortable, pest-free, and protected year-round.
Professional Cluster Fly Treatment You Can Count On
Our expert technicians apply a residual insecticide around the exterior of your home, focusing on the areas cluster flies love most:
- South- and southwest-facing walls
- Window and door frames
- Eaves and soffits
If flies have already made their way indoors, we’ll apply a specialized fly bait spray to window frames and baseboards, quickly eliminating those annoying intruders.
Long-Term Protection Through Prevention
At Quinn’s Pest Management, we don’t just eliminate cluster flies—we prevent them from returning. Our exclusion services include:
- Sealing all gaps around windows, doors, and rooflines
- Repair or replace damaged screens
- Apply residual insecticide in late summer or early fall to prevent overwintering
Understanding Cluster Flies
Unlike houseflies, cluster flies don’t breed inside your home, but they do look for cozy spaces in walls and attics to ride out the cold months. Here’s what makes them unique:
- Life cycle: Adults lay eggs in soil, their larvae feed on earthworms, and multiple generations hatch over the summer. By late summer, they seek indoor shelter for the winter.
- Appearance: Cluster flies are larger and slower than houseflies, with golden hairs on their bodies and overlapping wings.
- Behaviour: While houseflies breed year-round in garbage and food waste, cluster flies cluster indoors only in fall and winter.
How Long Do They Stay?
Cluster flies can live several months, or even up to two years, in the right conditions. Without treatment, you could find yourself battling them season after season.
