Start With the Source
What Is the Best Way to Get Rid of Flies?
The best approach depends on the fly species and where the larvae are developing. Killing adult flies may reduce what you see, but the problem can continue if the breeding source remains.
House flies, drain flies, fruit flies and other species may come from very different sources.
Trash, drains, pet waste, organic debris, food residue and hidden moisture are common places to investigate.
Sanitation, waste management, exclusion and repairs can be just as important as treatment.
Traps, baits, exclusion and targeted treatment may be used where appropriate.
Identification Matters
Common Flies Found Around Phoenix Homes and Businesses
Different flies have different breeding habits. Identifying the type of fly can help narrow down the likely source and avoid treating the wrong area.
House Flies
Often associated with garbage, animal waste, decaying organic material and other sanitation-related sources.
Blow Flies
May be associated with garbage, dead animals or other decaying organic material.
Drain Flies
Often develop in moist organic film inside drains or other persistently wet areas.
Fruit Flies
Often associated with fermenting produce, sugary residue, beverages and other organic material.
Common Breeding & Attraction Sources
Where Are the Flies Coming From?
Recurring fly activity usually means there is a source nearby or flies are repeatedly entering from outside. The location where they are concentrated can provide important clues.
Trash & Recycling
Food residue and organic waste can attract and support several common fly species.
Drains & Moist Areas
Organic buildup and persistent moisture may support drain flies and other small flies.
Pet & Animal Waste
Pet waste, livestock areas and other animal-related sources can increase fly pressure.
Food & Beverage Residue
Overripe produce, spilled drinks and sugary residue can attract fruit and vinegar flies.
Dead Wildlife
A sudden increase in blow flies may sometimes point to a dead rodent or other animal nearby.
Doors & Screens
Open doors, damaged screens and other gaps can allow exterior flies to repeatedly enter.
Treat the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
Why Flies Keep Coming Back
Adult flies can often be reduced quickly, but recurring activity usually means the breeding source or entry point has not been corrected.
Source Correction
May include sanitation, removing organic material, cleaning drains, managing waste, repairing screens or correcting moisture and structural conditions.
Adult Fly Reduction
May include traps, baits, insect light traps, exclusion or targeted treatment depending on the species and location.
The best results usually come from combining source correction with appropriate adult fly control.
Simple Steps That May Help
What You Can Do Before Calling a Fly Exterminator
Clean Trash & Recycling
Remove residue from cans, bins and bottle or can recycling areas.
Remove Pet Waste
Frequent cleanup can reduce breeding material outdoors.
Check Screens & Doors
Repair damaged screens and reduce gaps around exterior entry points.
Remove Food Sources
Discard rotting produce and clean spills, beverage residue and organic buildup.
Professional Fly Evaluation
When Professional Fly Control Makes Sense
A professional evaluation is especially useful when the source is difficult to locate or fly activity keeps returning despite cleaning and basic prevention.
Recurring activity often points to an overlooked source or reinvasion from outside.
An inspection can help narrow down hidden breeding or entry areas.
Large numbers of flies may require a more structured control approach.
Restaurants, offices and other businesses may need ongoing monitoring and source management.
A Source-Focused Approach
How Bill’s Approaches a Fly Problem
Identify
Determine the fly species or narrow down the likely type.
Inspect

Correct
Recommend sanitation, exclusion or source-removal steps where needed.
Control & Monitor

Phoenix Homes
Residential Fly Control
Fly activity around kitchens, patios, trash areas, pet areas and drains can come from very different sources. Bill’s evaluates where flies are being seen and what conditions may be contributing to the problem.
When treatment is appropriate, products are selected and applied according to label directions and the conditions at the property.
Businesses & Food-Service Properties
Commercial Fly Control Phoenix
Commercial properties may face additional fly pressure from loading areas, dumpsters, trash volume, employee doors, drains, food handling and neighboring properties.
For restaurants and commercial kitchens, visit our dedicated Restaurant Fly Control Phoenix AZ page.
Small Flies Around Kitchens?
Fruit Flies Need a Source-Focused Approach
If you are seeing small flies around fruit, beverages, recycling or kitchen areas, they may be fruit or vinegar flies. These problems are often tied to fermenting organic material rather than the same sources that support house flies.
