The warmer weather is well on its way and although this brings glorious sunshine, it also means more bugs will soon be seen. It also means that we’ll have our doors and windows open more often to welcome in the sun’s rays and the lovely breeze but unfortunately, this also brings in more flies and bugs into our homes and especially our kitchens. This can range from being extremely annoying in our households, to extremely unhygienic and a massive problem for businesses and commercial kitchens where hygiene standards always need to be as high as they possibly can. Here’s everything that you need to know about how to keep flies from entering your space and what you can do to remove them if any pesky ones manage to get in…
Why Do You Need to Remove Flies?
If the flying around, buzzing and landing on your furniture, food and every item in your home or workspace wasn’t enough of a reason, they actually carry bacteria and disease. This means that every time you see a fly land in your food or in your drink – not only are they helping themselves to your meal, but they’re also spreading germs and bacteria, which you’re then likely to eat if you don’t spot them in time.
For food industries and kitchens, flies are a massive sign of poor hygiene. Even if you know that your kitchens and restaurants are as clean as they possibly can be, flies send a different message to paying customers and they’ll immediately associate flies with an environment that they definitely don’t want to eat in.
How Can I Prevent Flies from Entering My Home or Workspace?
In terms of prevention methods, fly screens work amazingly well – especially in the winter months. They still make it possible for you to have the door open (something that’s definitely welcome in hot kitchens), but flies find it near enough impossible to get inside. They work by attaching to your door frame and the long metal chains flow down the doorway, allowing the breeze to still enter the room but the flies are unable to make it past.
These Xterminate fly chains have a heavy-duty design which makes them look professional and sturdy – perfect for households and businesses. They’re also available in several different colours so that you can pick the colour that will best go with your décor! They’re also perfect for conservatories that back onto gardens, as they still allow people to pass through the door during sunny days, but prevent insects and other flies from welcoming themselves into your home!
I Have a Fly Infestation – What Do I Do Now?
If you already have a lot of flies, there’s no need to worry too much. Although they can become and real nuisance as the breed rather quickly, it’s important to take action straight away. This Xterminate Total Release are designed to be let off in the space where the flies are most and once they’ve been set off, the smoke travels around the room and starts to kill the pesky flies away.
It’s best to always follow this up with some fly spray too, as you can accurately spray this onto the flies to make sure that you have every single one. Our Flying & Crawling Insect Spray has a fresh lemon fragrance to avoid any nasty smells and is easy to use – just simply spray the product onto the flies or where the flies seem to go the most!

Other Measures to Take to Keep Kitchens Fly-Free
You can never be too safe when it comes to flies, as it seems one or two can always manage to find their way in, no matter what you do. Although just a couple probably isn’t that much of an issue in your home, it is in food industries.
That’s why we’d recommend getting a fly zapper. Our Xterminate fly zappers are built in different sizes depending on the wall or surface space that you have and their UV light attracts the flies inside the device. Once they’ve flow in, they immediately get shocked, causing them to die immediately. This is perfect for kitchens, as the fly will be attracted to the light before they have chance to feast on ay food or breed.
