Why Do Flies Keep Gathering at the Windows in My Huntingdon Property?
Spraying the window feels like the obvious answer in a Huntingdon house, but it deals with the symptom and the next batch is usually already on the way.

Flies at a window are a symptom. They are there because of the light, and they are there in numbers because something in or near the building is producing or housing them. In a Huntingdon Georgian townhouse or a post-war semi, the cause is just as likely to be hidden as obvious.
What Does Not Work
- Window spray. Kills the flies you can see and leaves whatever is behind them untouched.
- Bleach in the drain. It runs down the middle of the pipe and misses the film on the wall where drain flies breed.
- Leaving the window open. A few will leave, but most bump the glass for hours.
- Extra cleaning of surfaces. Worthwhile for fruit and house flies, pointless for cluster flies in a roof.
What Does Help
Finding out what the flies are. A fast, slow, large, small or glossy fly each means something different. Then tracing the source.
- Hoover the dead and dying ones daily so that new arrivals stand out.
- Check the loft for a cluster or a carcass.
- Test suspect drains with a strip of clear tape over the plughole overnight. Flies emerging will stick to it.
- Move the bin and rinse recycling.
The honest bit. These steps solve a fair few cases, especially fruit flies and drain flies. They are less likely to help if the cause is overwintering flies in the roof or something dead in a cavity, because you cannot see or reach either.
Older Houses, Hidden Spaces
Many older Huntingdon properties have boxed-in eaves, redundant flues and voids under stairs or floors. They are all quiet places where a bird, mouse or squirrel could die, and once a carcass is there the flies that develop on it will come out towards the nearest window. Newer houses have fewer of these spaces, but integral garages and roof voids can still do the same job.
A Note on Timing and Patience
It can take a few days after a treatment or a drain clean for the last flies to show up and die off, because pupae already in place will still emerge. Do not take a handful on the sill the following week as proof that it failed. A steady stream that does not shrink over ten days is what suggests that the source has not been found. If that is your situation in Huntingdon, tell us what changed after you made your own efforts, because it narrows the search.

Common Questions
Is window spray any use against flies?
It kills those on the glass, but it does nothing to what is producing or housing them.
How can I test which drain flies are coming from?
Tape clear sticky tape loosely over the plughole overnight. Any flies emerging will get caught on it.
Could something dead in the house cause this?
Yes. A dead bird or rodent in a void can produce a run of large flies over several days.
Do you guarantee the work?
If the problem returns within 14 days we return and re-treat free.
