Do Flies Carry Disease?

People associate flies with poor cleanliness, these pests annoy homeowners and disgust customers of many commercial businesses.

Flies carry many disease organisms and can deposit these on any surface that they land on such as worktops, food items or bars.

The UK has a wide variety of species of flies that are classed as pests, due to the fact that they can be major carriers of diseases such as Salmonella spp. and E.coli.

No matter what the species of fly you may have that presents a risk to your property, prevention is better than cure to protect your business’s reputation. Vergo has a number of methods at its disposal that can be deployed to control the risk of infestation.

All species of flies will live outdoors in the UK. They are highly mobile and will find the smallest gap to enter a building and infest favourable habitats with your property. Each species has its own niche as can be seen below.

Risks Flies Pose To Your Business Or Organisation

The presence of even one fly in a food or hospitality establishment can pose significant risks. These problematic insects can compromise the quality of your products and the reputation of your business. Here we list the importance of combatting this:

  • Food Contamination: Notorious for carrying and spreading pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, on their bodies and through their excrement. When flies land on food items or food preparation surfaces, they can transfer these harmful microorganisms, leading to foodborne illnesses and outbreaks.
  • Product Quality: In addition to health concerns, flies can compromise the quality of your products. Their presence can lead to unsightly contamination, spoilage, or altered flavors, making your food and beverages less appealing to customers.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Health and safety regulations mandate stringent hygiene standards for food and hospitality businesses. Failure to meet these requirements can result in fines, closure orders, or even legal action. Having a robust fly control system, including fly killer units, is a crucial component of compliance with these regulations.

Overall, flies can significantly impact a business’s reputation and therefore customer referrals. Businesses need to take proactive measures to prevent infestations and address them promptly if they occur.
