Cluster Fly Loft Fumigation in Croydon: what we see locally
Cluster flies breed in grassland, and Croydon's southern downs, including Farthing Downs, Happy Valley, Kenley Common and Riddlesdown, provide plenty of it. In autumn, the adults look for warm, sheltered places to spend the winter, and lofts are perfect.
Homes in Coulsdon, Kenley, Purley, Sanderstead and Selsdon are most likely to see cluster flies gathering in their lofts and at upstairs windows. Our fumigation treats the whole loft space.
Cluster flies are harmless, but in large numbers they're unpleasant and can stain walls and windows. On mild days in winter and early spring, they wake up and crawl slowly across windows in bedrooms and landings, often in their hundreds in homes close to the downs.
