Cluster Fly Loft Fumigation in Ealing: what we see locally
Cluster flies spend the summer in grassland and fields, where their larvae live on earthworms. In autumn the adults look for a sheltered place to spend the winter, and the lofts of Ealing houses that sit next to big open spaces are an ideal spot.
We see cluster flies most in the roads around Horsenden Hill, Perivale Wood, Northala Fields and Brent River Park, where houses sit right beside grassland. The flies crawl in under roof tiles and through gaps in the eaves, then emerge on warm days in winter and spring. Our fumigation treats the whole loft space so the flies are cleared in one visit.
Where we find cluster flies in Ealing
- Houses near Horsenden Hill and Perivale Wood: Homes next to grassland and woodland in Perivale and Greenford get large numbers each autumn.
- Lofts in older houses: Gaps under roof tiles and at the eaves give cluster flies an easy way into Ealing lofts.
- Upstairs bedrooms and landings: Flies wake up on mild days and gather at the windows of top-floor rooms.
- Homes near Northala Fields and Brent River Park: Large grassy parks in Northolt and Hanwell support the earthworms that cluster fly larvae feed on.
Our cluster fly loft fumigation service covers the whole of Ealing (W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5 and UB6), including Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale, Pitshanger, Southall and West Ealing, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping cluster flies out of Ealing homes
Cluster flies get into lofts through tiny gaps at the eaves and under tiles, so sealing every gap isn't realistic. What helps is fitting fine insect mesh behind loft vents, sealing gaps around loft hatches so flies can't drop into bedrooms, and booking a fumigation each autumn if your home sits next to grassland such as Horsenden Hill or Northala Fields.
