Expert Flying Insect Control Solutions
Flies spread disease, contaminate food surfaces, and can shut down food businesses with a single health inspection. At Pest Specialists, we provide professional fly pest control that works in New Zealand’s summer heat when flies breed fastest. Our residual treatments target common houseflies, cluster flies, blowflies, and fruit flies—creating invisible barriers that keep working for months, not hours.
Why Choose Professional Fly Control?
Store-bought sprays and automatic dispensers fail when you need them most. As summer temperatures climb, flies’ metabolism accelerates, making weak pyrethrum products ineffective before flies absorb enough to die. We treat both indoor resting areas and outdoor breeding zones, stopping the problem at its source.
We provide fly pest control across the South Island with offices located in Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim & Timaru. Dealing with persistent fly problems? Call Pest Specialists for professional flying insect control.

Our Fly Control Process
Our professional fly treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and tailored to New Zealand homes and businesses. We use modern application methods that won’t stain surfaces, combined with products that continue working throughout peak fly season.
Property Assessment
Our technicians assess your property to identify fly activity patterns, entry points, and breeding attractants like bins, compost areas, or pet zones. We provide practical advice on reducing environmental factors that draw flies to your property.
Interior Treatment
We apply a fine residual mist to ceilings, walls, window frames and surfaces within your home. The treatment is odorless and won’t stain, creating an invisible barrier that kills flies when they land. It won’t stop flies entering your home.
Exterior Treatment
We treat external walls, eaves, entry points, and sunny resting areas where flies gather. Areas around bins, outdoor dining spaces, and other attractants receive targeted coverage to reduce populations before they enter your property.
Specialised Solutions
For lesser houseflies (the small ones flying erratic patterns in room centers), we can install automatic insect control dispensers that release timed treatments, since these flies rarely land on treated surfaces indoors.
Local Fly Control in the South Island
Summer fly problems intensify across the South Island from December through March, but different fly species cause problems year-round. Understanding which flies you’re dealing with is essential for effective treatment.
Common houseflies breed in organic waste, pet droppings, and compost. They land frequently on surfaces, spreading bacteria from waste to food preparation areas. In commercial kitchens and food businesses, fly activity can trigger health violations and damage your reputation.
Lesser houseflies are smaller and fly in erratic, jagged patterns in room centres. They rarely land, making standard treatments ineffective. These require specialised indoor fly control methods.
Cluster flies gather in roof spaces, wall cavities, and around windows during autumn as they seek shelter for winter. They emerge on warm days in large numbers, often appearing suddenly inside homes. These require specific timing and treatment approaches.
Blowflies are metallic green or blue flies that breed in dead animals, meat waste, and rotting organic matter. They’re a serious health concern for food businesses and indicate a nearby breeding source that needs addressing.
Fruit flies are tiny flies that breed in overripe fruit, drains, and bins. While small, they reproduce rapidly and can quickly infest kitchens in both homes and commercial properties.
Our treatments control fly populations rather than eliminating every single fly. Instead of 20 flies constantly buzzing, you’ll notice only the occasional one. The residual treatment continues killing flies for months as they land on treated surfaces. For persistent problems, we offer regular maintenance programs throughout peak season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most residential fly control treatments start from around $154, depending on property size and treatment areas required. Commercial fly control varies based on facility size and compliance requirements. We provide clear, upfront quotes before starting any work.
Yes, once dried. Our products are safe for families and pets after the treatment has dried completely (typically 2-3 hours). We recommend everyone, including pets, stays out during application and until surfaces are dry. The products are odorless and won’t stain surfaces or leave harmful residues.
Professional treatments provide 3-4 months of protection. The repellent effect lasts about one month, after which you may notice flies returning to the area—but they’ll die when they land on treated surfaces. The residual killing effect continues working for the full season.
No. We use modern application methods that apply fine misting with significantly less water than older techniques. The treatment is odorless and won’t stain ceilings, walls, or surfaces. You may notice slight residual on window glass edges that wipes off easily.
Clean any surfaces beforehand. Wiping down walls or ceilings after treatment removes the product and reduces effectiveness. Remove or cover fish tanks, reptile enclosures, and other cold-blooded pets, as the products are harmful to them. Ensure outdoor bins are closed and compost is away from treatment areas.
Several steps make a huge difference. Pick up pet droppings immediately (they attract flies within minutes), ensure bins have tight-sealing lids and keep them clean, move compost bins away from the house, clean pet bedding regularly, and promptly clean up food spills and scraps.
Yes. The repellent effect fades after about a month, so you may notice more flies approaching your home. However, when they land on treated surfaces, they’ll die. You should see a significant reduction in fly numbers (from 20 buzzing constantly to just an occasional one), but complete elimination isn’t possible as new flies constantly move in from surrounding areas.
