Fly Control in Powai

Which fly do you have? It changes the answer

• House flies

  The ones landing on food and counters. They breed in rotting waste, so garbage rooms, bins and food waste around a building are where to look first.

• Fruit flies

  Tiny flies around fruit bowls, juice counters and bars. They breed in anything fermenting, including a forgotten onion or a wet mop.

• Drain flies

  Small, fuzzy flies resting on bathroom walls. They breed in the slime inside drains, so spraying the room alone does little until the drain is cleaned.

  Send a photo on WhatsApp or show the technician. If it turns out to be moths, gnats or wasps, see flying insect management in Powai.

What you can do today

• Empty kitchen bins daily and keep the lids shut.
• Scrub drains with a brush, because pouring something down them does not remove the slime.
• Keep ripe fruit in the fridge, and wash out juice and soft drink containers.
• Fit mesh or a strip curtain on doors that stay open for deliveries.

• How much does fly control cost in Powai?

  It starts at ₹1,300, whichever of the three flies you have, and the price for your property is confirmed before treatment begins. The estimate is free. Restaurants and other food businesses usually need regular visits, so they are often better off on a written contract.

• Why do flies come back after spraying?

  Spray only kills adults that it touches, while the larvae carry on developing in the breeding source. Until that source is removed, whether it is a bin, a drain or food waste, new flies will keep appearing. That is why we find the source before spraying anything.

• How do I get rid of tiny flies in my bathroom?

  Those are usually drain flies, breeding in the slime inside the pipe. Scrub the drain with a stiff brush and keep it clean for a week. If they are still appearing, we can treat the drain as part of a visit, and the technician will also check nearby traps.

• Can you control flies in a restaurant without closing it?

  Yes. Visits can happen after closing, so the kitchen is ready when you reopen. We focus on waste areas, floor drains and resting spots, and use sticky traps in places where they will not touch food. Tell us your closing time and any upcoming inspection date when you call.

• Is the fly spray safe around food?

  Residual spray goes on surfaces where flies rest, away from food and food-contact areas. Please cover or put away food before the visit. In kitchens, the technician relies more on removing the source and on traps, and will tell you when it is safe to resume work.

• Do flies in my flat mean it is dirty?

  Not necessarily. Flies come from waste rooms, drains, plants and even neighbouring flats, so a clean flat can still have them. A quick check of bins, drains and fruit usually finds a source at home. If nothing turns up, the problem may be coming from outside your flat.

• Does pest control get rid of flies?

  Yes, when the treatment includes the source. Removing the breeding source comes first, followed by sticky traps and residual sprays where flies rest. This works against house flies, fruit flies and drain flies. A spray on its own only kills the adults it reaches, so the flies soon return.

• How do I get rid of flies in the kitchen?

  Look for what they are breeding in: a bin, a floor drain, overripe fruit or a wet mop. Remove it, keep bins closed and clean the drain with a brush. If flies still appear after a week, the source may be outside your kitchen, and the technician can help trace it.

• How do I get rid of flies in the house permanently?

  We avoid the word permanent, because flies can always arrive from outside. What lasts is removing the breeding sources, keeping waste sealed and fitting mesh on doors and windows. If they return inside the warranty, you can call us, and the follow-up visit is included for your home.

• If flies come back after treatment, is the follow-up free?

  Yes, inside the 1-year warranty. You get 3 free follow-up visits a year, so call us if flies come back. The technician will check whether a new breeding source has appeared, because a follow-up works best when it finds out why the flies have returned.
