Commercial Pest Control for Flies

Commercial Fly Control

Ecolab fly control and elimination programs help improve food safety and guest satisfaction by tackling the root causes of fly activity using our proven outside-in approach.

Flies are a nuisance that can pose a serious threat to food safety and your business. They can spread diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella and hurt your brand with customer complaints, negative reviews and low audit scores. Ecolab’s commercial fly control, restaurant fly control and food service fly control services can help you stay ahead of fly problems and provide a clean, safe and healthy environment for customers and employees.

Two types of flies - large ("house") flies and small ("fruit") flies. Two different fly control strategies. Not sure whether you have a large fly or a small fly problem? Visit our small fly page to learn more.

Ecolab’s comprehensive Large Fly Program features leading technology and ongoing service to help reduce fly pressure outside your restaurant, grocery store, food and beverage processing facility or non-food business. Using an outside-in approach and proprietary Ecolab equipment, our Large Fly Program prevents flies from entering and quickly destroys those that do get inside.

Eliminate Flies From the Outside-In

Ecolab’s three-pronged outside-in approach focuses on finding the root causes of large fly activity outside and solving issues before flies can get inside. This can greatly improve your results in preventing, reducing and eliminating large flies in and around your facility.
