Fly Control Wicklow: Commercial & Domestic

What does professional fly control involve?

Flies are more than a nuisance: they spread disease from waste to food and surfaces, posing a health risk to people, pets and livestock. Professional fly control identifies the fly species and the breeding source, removes it, and puts long-term measures in place. Our service covers treatment of the infestation, installation of fly-killing units where needed, insect screening and proofing, and ongoing maintenance for commercial sites.

Domestic fly control

A sudden fly problem at home usually points to a nearby breeding source, such as bins, drains or a dead animal in a cavity. Our technicians find and remove the source, treat the infestation, and advise on simple steps and screening to keep flies out. See our guide on how to get rid of flies for the basics.

Commercial fly control

For food, hospitality, retail and healthcare premises, flies are a serious contamination and compliance risk. We design a fly management programme around your building, installing and servicing professional fly-killing units and insect screens, and providing the records your food safety system and an Environmental Health Officer will expect. This is covered in more depth on our commercial fly control for food businesses page.

EFK vs LED fly control units

We supply, install and maintain two main types of professional fly-killing unit. Both attract flying insects to a discreet glue board; the difference is the light source and where each suits best.

Browse the detail on our EFK fly control units and LED fly control units pages, or ask us which suits your premises.

Insect screens and proofing

The most effective fly control keeps flies out in the first place. We fit insect and fly screens to doors and windows and proof gaps around your building, reducing reliance on treatment and keeping open-window premises comfortable and compliant.

How much does fly control cost?

Domestic fly treatments are quoted after we identify the source and the extent of the problem. Commercial fly control, including the supply, installation and servicing of fly units, is provided under a contract priced by sector and site, as per our risk assessment and recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I get rid of a sudden fly infestation?

  A sudden swarm of flies usually means a breeding source nearby, such as bins, drains or a dead animal in a cavity. The lasting fix is to find and remove the source, then treat and screen. Our technicians locate the source and deal with it at root, not just the visible flies.
• What is the difference between an EFK and an LED fly unit?

  Both attract flies to a glue board, but EFK units use UV tubes and suit back-of-house areas like kitchens, while LED units are lower-energy, longer-lasting and more discreet, suiting front-of-house and dining areas. We advise on the right choice for your premises.
• Do you install and service fly killer units?

  Yes. We supply, install and maintain EFK and LED fly control units and insect screens, with scheduled servicing and glue-board changes as part of a commercial programme so units keep working and stay compliant.
• Are flies a health risk in a food business?

  Yes. Flies move between waste and food, spreading bacteria, and their presence is a food-safety and compliance risk that an Environmental Health Officer will act on. Professional fly control protects your customers and your food hygiene standing.
