Commonly referred to as the Jumping Fly this pest is evidence of a serious issue at any home or business. Phorid flies could represent a break in plumbing, damaged grease trap, lacking attention to sanitation or damaged and unfixed tiles and floor grout. Phorid flies are easily identified by the “hunch back” look and can be seen almost hoping around points of harborage. Usually found around grease traps, damaged baseboards, and under bar service areas this fly is only controlled effectively by eliminating the source and no amount of pesticide will achieve that. Phorid Flies breed quickly and if left unaddressed can very rapidly lead to a serious health concern. Professional care is required to identify and eliminate source points.
