Fly pest control in Mallorca
Flies tend to appear in homes, bars, restaurants, hotels and similar places when heat and humidity rise. Fly pest control in Mallorca becomes essential at these times of year.
These insects are constantly in contact with rotting organic matter, dead animals, faeces and so on, so they carry infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, salmonella and E. coli, making them a health hazard.
Flies can develop from egg to adult in just seven days, so a small, poorly controlled fly problem can quickly turn into a serious infestation.
Identifying a fly infestation
Seeing flies at home or in your business does not mean there is an infestation, but you should stay alert, as some signs may point to one starting.
- Small clusters of dark spots, mainly on light fittings, walls and the upper parts of walls.
- Large numbers of flies buzzing around your home, food or rubbish. Food businesses should pay special attention to this, as flies can multiply very quickly.
- Fly larvae at home or in your business, as they may indicate a breeding site. Larvae look like legless worms. They are creamy white and cylindrical.
Tips to prevent a fly infestation
There are a few things you can do to keep your home or business free of flies and other insects. Here are some ways to prevent a fly or insect infestation:
The most important thing is to keep things clean, especially in food areas. Food should be kept covered and, whenever possible, in airtight containers. Any food scraps can attract flies and become a breeding ground.
Flies need moisture to breed, so it is important to control damp and repair leaks or areas of standing water.
Close or cover entry points with fly screens.
As flies are attracted to rubbish, make sure waste bins always have their lids on and are kept outside the house.

If the flies in your home are not an infestation, you can try some home remedies. We have put together some of the best home remedies to get rid of flies and a few tricks to keep them under control:
Garlic helps keep flies away. Peel some garlic cloves and place them where you want to keep flies out.
Aromatic plants such as basil or lavender keep flies away as well as preventing bad smells. Other plants that work well are citronella, bay, mint, sage and rosemary.
White vinegar is a popular home remedy for keeping flies away, but remember that, as with other insects, it does not kill them or stop an infestation from growing.
These home remedies are cheap and natural, but remember that they do not work against an infestation because they neither eliminate the problem nor contain it for long enough.
Hang clear plastic bags filled with water from ceilings, doors or shelves. The distorted reflection is thought to scare flies away, as they mistake it for a predator.
Another trick is bowls with a mixture of sugar, water and vinegar, recommended for terraces, patios and gardens. The sweet mixture attracts flies and other insects, which then drown.
