Technica Fly Solutions

Our Treatment Solutions

At Technica Pest Solutions, we use effective, tailored methods to deal with all types of fly infestations. Our treatments target both adult flies and their breeding sites to break the life cycle and prevent re-infestation.

Residual Insecticide Sprays

The insecticide leaves a residue that continues to kill flies that land on treated surfaces.

Larvicide Treatments

Used to target fly breeding sites by killing larvae (maggots) before they become adult flies.

Fogging

If you’re dealing with a large fly problem, fogging might be the solution you need.

What Are Flies?

Flies are insects belonging to the order Diptera — meaning they have two wings — and are known for their ability to spread diseases by transferring bacteria and pathogens. Different fly species have unique behaviors and habitats, which is why proper identification is key to effective treatment.

Common types of flies in Alberta include:

• House Flies:
  The most common type, they breed in garbage, manure, and rotting food. House flies carry bacteria that can cause food poisoning and other illnesses.

• Fruit Flies:
  Tiny flies attracted to overripe fruits, vegetables, and fermenting liquids. They reproduce quickly, making infestations challenging if not promptly addressed.

• Drain Flies (Moth Flies):
  Found near sinks, drains, and damp organic matter. They breed in the slime and gunk lining pipes, thriving in moist environments.

• Cluster Flies:
  Larger flies that invade homes in the fall, seeking warm places to overwinter. They often gather in attics, windows, and wall voids.

• Blow Flies (Bluebottles and Greenbottles):
  Recognizable by their metallic sheen, these flies breed in dead animals, garbage, and pet waste. Their presence may indicate something rotting nearby.

• Phorid Flies:
  Also called "humpback flies," they breed in decaying organic matter and are often confused with fruit flies.

Understanding which type of fly is invading your space allows us to target their breeding grounds and eliminate the problem at its source.

Signs of a Fly Infestation

Spotting an occasional fly is normal, but persistent fly activity could signal an infestation. Look out for these common signs:

🔴 Frequent sightings of flies — especially around food, garbage bins, or drains.

🔴 Small black specks (fly feces) — on walls, windowsills, or near light fixtures.

🔴 Buzzing sounds — often heard around windows or light sources, where flies gather.

🔴 Clusters of flies — especially in upper rooms, attics, or near vents (common with cluster flies).

🔴 Maggots (fly larvae) — found in rotting food, organic waste, or animal carcasses.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act fast — flies reproduce rapidly, and a small issue can turn into a full-blown infestation in days.

Prevention Tips for Flies

While professional treatment is the most reliable way to eliminate flies, you can reduce the risk of future infestations by following these simple prevention tips:

✔️ Sanitation: Keep kitchens and dining areas clean. Wipe up food spills, store garbage in sealed bins, and remove pet waste regularly.

✔️ Seal Entry Points: Install screens on windows and doors, seal cracks around vents and pipes, and close gaps around door frames.

✔️ Drain Maintenance: Regularly clean sink and floor drains to prevent buildup of organic matter — a prime breeding ground for drain flies.

✔️ Store Food Properly: Keep ripe fruits in the fridge, and tightly seal jars containing sugar, vinegar, or alcohol.

✔️ Light Traps: Use fly traps or UV light traps to capture and kill adult flies in high-risk areas.

✔️ Waste Management: Ensure dumpsters and outdoor garbage bins have tight-fitting lids and are positioned away from building entrances.

Our team can provide customized prevention plans tailored to your property, helping you stay fly-free all year long.
