Protecting businesses and homes in Kenya from Pests for 60+ Years

Professional Fly Control Services in Kenya

There are a staggering 120,000 species of flies globally. Flies are often unwelcome due to the health risks they pose to people, pets, and livestock. They are carriers of food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhoea contaminating homes and businesses with diseases like Salmonella and E.coli. Some fly species can even bite, like the Horse Fly. Combatting fly infestations requires a tailored approach, ranging from common fly sprays to advanced solutions like Rentokil external EcoCatch Fly Traps and our Lumnia LED fly Killers.

For businesses in Kenya,  understanding the seasonal impact of fly populations is crucial, and we work alongside you to design a comprehensive fly control programme to exclude, restrict, destroy and monitor fly infestations. Our team of pest control technicians are trained to identify the species and understand your unique business needs, challenges and environment to provide the best fly control solutions for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fly Control


  • How to get rid of flies in Kenya?

    Controlling flies in the Kenyan climate requires a focus on sanitation and physical barriers. Ensure all organic waste is stored in tightly sealed bins and disposed of regularly. During the rainy seasons, use window screens and mosquito nets to block entry. Natural repellents like lemongrass or basil grown in pots near windows are also highly effective at keeping flies away from living spaces.


  • How can I get rid of flies permanently?

    Permanent fly control is achieved by breaking the breeding cycle rather than just killing adult flies. You must identify and eliminate the source of the infestation, which is usually decaying organic matter, stagnant water, or moist drains. Keeping surfaces sanitized and ensuring that no food remains exposed will prevent new populations from establishing themselves in your environment.


  • What is the best pest control for flies?

    The most effective pest control involves a combination of methods. Residual surface sprays are excellent for long term protection on walls and ceilings where flies rest. Electronic UV light traps are the best choice for indoor areas like kitchens because they capture flies without the use of chemicals. For large outdoor spaces, professional baiting or space fogging provides the fastest results.


  • What happens when a Nairobi fly bites you?

    It is important to note that the Nairobi Fly does not actually bite or sting. The irritation occurs when the beetle is crushed against the skin, releasing a toxic fluid called pederin. This causes a chemical burn known as Paederus dermatitis, which leads to redness, itching, and painful blisters within twenty four hours. If the fluid touches your eyes, it can cause severe swelling and inflammation.


  • How to get rid of flies in the house permanently?

    To maintain a house that is permanently free of flies, you should seal all entry points such as gaps under doors and holes in window screens. Clean your drains regularly using boiling water or vinegar to kill larvae. Additionally, ensure that pet waste is cleared from the yard immediately and that all indoor trash cans are disinfected weekly to remove invisible eggs and larvae.
