Cluster Fly Loft Fumigation in Bexley: what we see locally
Cluster flies are larger and slower than house flies, and they gather in lofts and upstairs rooms in autumn to spend the winter. Their larvae live in grassland, so homes near fields and open space are most affected.
In Bexley, houses near Footscray Meadows, Bexley Woods, Danson Park and the Crayford and Erith marshes often get cluster flies. Our loft fumigation treats the whole space quickly and safely.
Many of Bexley's 1930s houses have tiled roofs with small gaps at the eaves, which are perfect for cluster flies looking for winter shelter. They're harmless but unpleasant, and once they're in, they tend to come back to the same loft each autumn.
