Cluster Flies
Alberta’s Annoying Fall Pest
Have you ever noticed a bunch of slow-moving flies gathered around your windows or attic as the weather gets cooler? If you’re in Alberta, you might be dealing with cluster flies! These pests are a common problem for home and business owners, and Assassin Pest Control is here to help you kick them out for good.
What Are Cluster Flies?
They look a lot like regular house flies, but they’re actually a different species. They’re dark, a bit fuzzy, and move sluggishly. Unlike house flies, they don’t breed inside your home or carry harmful diseases. Instead, they spend most of their life outdoors, but when it cools down in late summer and fall, they start looking for a warm place to hide—and your property looks like prime real estate!
How Do They Get Inside?
Cluster flies sneak inside through tiny cracks in walls, windows, and under siding. Once in, they hide away in attics, wall voids, and unused rooms. You might not notice them until a sunny winter day, when they all come out to bask in the warmth by your windows.
Why Are They a Problem?
While they don’t bite or sting, they can gather in large numbers. They’ll leave behind tiny dark spots on your walls and windows from their droppings, and their presence can be a real nuisance for staff and customers. In the spring, they head back outside, but if you’ve had them once, they’ll likely try to return the next year.
