Controlling flies can be accomplished through various methods. In addition to using chemical treatments, Verida offers assistance in deterring flying insects from accessing properties by fitting screens on windows and doors. We also provide installation services for external fly traps and professional UV internal fly control units. In cases where necessary, we can perform fogging, spray treatments, or ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) applications to reduce high fly populations.
Can flies carry disease?
Flies in the UK carry disease-causing organisms and can contaminate surfaces they land on, including worktops, food, and bars. Various fly species are considered pests due to their role in spreading diseases like Salmonella spp. and E. coli. Preventing infestation is crucial for protecting your business’s reputation. Verida offers effective methods to control the risk of infestation. All fly species in the UK live outdoors and can easily enter buildings to infest suitable habitats.
Hazards Presented by Flies to Your Business or Organisation
The mere presence of a single fly within a food or hospitality establishment can present considerable risks. These troublesome insects have the potential to undermine the quality of your goods and the standing of your enterprise. Below, we outline the significance of addressing this issue:

When selecting the appropriate Electric Fly Killer (EFK) for your premises, several factors warrant consideration. Depending on the location of the unit, you might opt for a discreet model cleverly camouflaged within an aesthetically pleasing uplighter unit. Alternatively, in food preparation areas where hygiene holds paramount importance, an LED, glass-free, glue board unit can be chosen to mitigate the risk of food contamination due to glass or shattered flying insects.
The efficacy of an EFK hinges on both the size of the area and the positioning of the EFK(s). Hence, it is advisable to seek professional guidance to ensure you procure the optimal solution for your space, thereby maintaining a fly-free environment.

Fly zappers are typically efficient against a variety of fly species found in the UK, including bothersome types like houseflies, fruit flies, blowflies, and bottle flies. These devices operate by luring flies towards a light source or bait and subsequently ensnaring or electrocuting them.
In instances of significant fly infestations, it's imperative to promptly implement a lockdown to minimise the threat of contamination to goods or foodstuffs.
