As humans, we see flies as distasteful. They land on our food. They buzz around our ears. We make plastic swatters just for them. But the truth about flies is even worse.
Expert Pest Control has been studying flies, and the best way to get rid of them, since 1991. Through all of our experience, we now know that flies – even common house flies – can carry over 100 different pathogens that are harmful to humans and pets, including salmonella, staphylococcus, E. coli and shigella.
Every time a fly lands, it releases thousands of microbes containing harmful pathogens. These pathogens are even known to cause serious diseases including:
- Typhoid Fever
- Cholera
- Bacillary Dysentery
- Diarrhea
- Food Poisoning
- Meningitis
- Bloodstream Infections
- Hepatitis
- And More...
Don’t let your loved ones become statistics. If you see flies in your home, call Expert Pest Control for the most effective fly extermination services available!

For large swarms of flies, Expert Pest Control offers quick knockdowns with power misting to clear your property.
Fleas
Fleas can survive both indoors and outside. Your yard, your furniture, cracks between floor boards, in your carpets – these are all places where fleas can both hide and thrive. Your pets can also carry these invasive critters, and act as one of their favorite hosts. Additionally, fleas are more than just you average nuisance. Like ticks, they feed off of the blood of living things. Like flies, they can also congregate and multiply by the millions if given enough time.
When you learn of a flea infestation in your home, you should take IMMEDIATE action. You should call Expert Pest Control and get our finest flea control services to take back your home and your yard!
