When to Call the Professionals for Lafayette Fly Control

One fly might not seem like a big deal, but that’s until it’s buzzing around your head while you’re trying to cook dinner. If you're starting to notice more of them hovering near your trash can, windows, or kitchen counters, it could be a sign of something bigger. Flies multiply fast, and they’re not just loud – they can carry germs that end up on your food and surfaces.

So how do you know when to grab a fly swatter and when it’s time to call in the pros? Here’s what to look for, and how Mosquito Squad of Lafayette can help.

Why Flies Are a Problem

Sure, they’re noisy, and yes, they seem to love interrupting your day. But flies can also pose some serious health risks. They spend their time crawling around trash, animal waste, and other less-than-pleasant places, picking up bacteria and bringing them right into your home. Every time they land on your food or countertops, they’re potentially leaving behind traces of what they last touched.

Studies have shown that flies can carry more than 65 diseases, some of them pretty serious. And in a warm, humid place like Lafayette, flies have the perfect conditions to thrive. All they need is a food source and a place to lay eggs, and suddenly, your small problem becomes a lot harder to ignore.

Signs You’ve Got More Than a Fly-By Problem

It's easy to swat away a couple of flies and move on. But if you’re noticing some of these signs, it’s probably time to take a closer look:

• Flies hanging around garbage cans, drains, or windows every day
• Small black dots (droppings) on walls or surfaces
• A musty, sour smell near compost, drains, or trash areas
• Seeing larvae or maggots in your trash or food waste

If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you’re not dealing with a random visitor, but you’ve got a bigger fly problem that needs attention.

Why the DIY Approach Doesn’t Always Do the Trick

You might be tempted to rely on fly paper, sprays, or swatters—and for a quick fix, they might work. But they don’t get to the root of the issue. Flies love hiding in places you can’t see—under appliances, inside drains, or deep in the garbage. That’s where the next generation of flies is already forming.

At Mosquito Squad of Lafayette, we take a targeted approach. Our team looks at the big picture: where flies are coming from, why they’re sticking around, and how we can help break their life cycle. With professional treatments that go beyond surface-level solutions, we help reduce fly populations and make your home or yard less appealing to them in the future.

What Fly Control Looks Like With Mosquito Squad

Fly control isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially in a place like Lafayette. When you schedule service with us, one of our trained technicians will inspect your property for things that attract flies, like open trash bins, compost piles, or standing water.

From there, we’ll put together a plan tailored to your space. We treat both the adult flies you’re seeing and the conditions that allow them to breed and thrive. And while we’re best known for mosquito treatments, our services also cover flies, gnats, fleas, spiders, and more.
