We are so grateful for our loyal customers who shared their experiences with us. Read some of our latest reviews below.

Chris was fantastic! On time, professional, and so personable. He listened to my mouse stories like he was generally interested and cared. He found the makings of a mouse nest and set bait traps. He will return in 2 weeks. I also want to give a shout out to Lexee. She knew the answers to my questions and was also very personable.

Since hiring Proterra I’ve had no insects in my house. They always give a heads up days before the appointment and 30 min. before they come to the house and shop. I didn’t realize this until I actually saw it but my tech Emilio was removing cob webs from all around my house and shop even the high ones with an extension, I’m impressed! Both the field techs and the phone operators are always professional, courteous and efficient. Highly recommend Proterra.

– DM G

Great experience all around, from calling to inquire for service and the actual treatment day service provided!!! Chris was professional and did a very thorough job treating our home and yard! I appreciate that he sought out my expectations (as this was our first treatment), and he went above and beyond!!! Highly satisfied with my initial experience and recommend!

I’ve had Daric come out a few times for pest service now. He’s very polite and knowledgeable. I especially appreciate that he is careful able closing the gate so my dogs don’t get loose when he leaves.

Fly Control in Kennewick

ALSO SERVING PASCO, RICHLAND, AND OTHER TRI-CITIES COMMUNITIES

Living in Kennewick, you know that fly season can turn a peaceful afternoon into a constant battle against buzzing nuisances. Whether it is the sudden appearance of sluggish cluster flies gathering on your windows in the fall or persistent house flies targeting your kitchen in the summer, these pests are more than just annoying. They can carry bacteria to your food preparation areas and indicate hidden breeding sites that DIY sprays cannot reach.

At Proterra Pest Control, we understand that your home is your sanctuary, and you deserve to feel comfortable in it without having to worry about pests. We have been serving our neighbors since 2020 with a commitment to safety and thoroughness. Our team takes ownership of the problem, using family-centered strategies to eliminate fly infestations effectively while ensuring your children and pets remain safe. We treat your home like it is our own, delivering peace of mind with every visit.

Ready for a fly-free home? Call (509) 572-3383 or contact us online to schedule your Fly Control service.

Understanding Your Fly Infestation

Flies are often dismissed as a minor nuisance, but a recurring presence usually points to a deeper issue within the home or property. While seeing one or two insects enters the realm of normal, a sudden swarm or a consistent population suggests that there is an active breeding site nearby that requires professional attention.

  • Cluster Flies: These are common in our region during cooler months. Unlike filth flies, they don’t seek out trash; instead, they seek warmth, often overwintering in attics and wall voids, only to emerge lazily into your living space on sunny days.
  • Filth Flies: House flies and blow flies are attracted to decaying organic matter. Their presence inside often indicates unsealed garbage, pet waste issues, or even a hidden dead animal in a crawl space.
  • Fruit Flies & Drain Flies: These tiny pests multiply rapidly in fermenting matter. If you see them, the source is likely a drain, a forgotten spill, or overripe produce that has been left out.
  • Health Risks: Beyond the annoyance, many fly species are mechanical vectors for disease. Because they frequent unsanitary environments before landing on your counters, they can spread pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli.

Our Approach to Fly Control

At Proterra Pest Control, we do not believe in simply spraying chemicals and hoping for the best. We use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy that focuses on long-term results by addressing the root cause of the infestation.

  • Thorough Inspection: We start by identifying the specific species of fly, which tells us where they are likely breeding. We inspect your home top to bottom to find entry points, such as torn screens or gaps in siding, and locate the environmental factors contributing to the problem.
  • Targeted Treatment: We utilize a “perfect marriage” of products—organic treatments for the interior to keep your family safe, and organic-blended, top-of-the-line synthetics for the exterior to create a robust barrier.
  • Exclusion & Prevention: We don’t just kill the current swarm; we help you keep them out. We will provide specific recommendations, such as sealing gaps or managing landscaping, to make your home less attractive to future pests.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Fly populations can rebound quickly. Our ongoing service tracks activity and reinforces our work. If pests reappear between our seasonal visits, we re-treat at no extra charge.

The Importance of Professional Service

Attempting to control flies with swatters or sticky tape addresses the symptom, not the disease. Store-bought sprays often provide only temporary relief and can introduce unnecessary chemicals into your living environment without actually stopping the reproductive cycle of the pest.

A professional service brings the expertise needed to locate the breeding source, which is the only way to stop an infestation permanently. Whether the issue is hidden in the drains, the attic, or the yard, an expert can identify it and apply the correct solution to neutralize the population at its origin.

Furthermore, professional technicians have access to specialized products and tools that are far more effective than consumer-grade options. By relying on a licensed team, you ensure that the treatment is applied safely and responsibly, protecting the health of your household while effectively eradicating the pest threat.

Prevention Tips for Homeowners

While professional treatment is the most effective way to handle an infestation, there are several steps you can take to make your home less inviting to flies in the first place. Sanitation and exclusion are your best defenses.

Interior Tips:

  • Manage Waste: Ensure all trash cans have tight-fitting lids and take garbage out regularly.
  • Check Produce: Store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator or sealed containers to deter fruit flies.
  • Clean Drains: Periodically clean garbage disposals and sink drains with an enzymatic cleaner to remove organic buildup.

Exterior Tips:

  • Pet Waste: Clean up pet waste in the yard immediately, as it is a primary breeding ground for filth flies.
  • Seal Entries: Inspect window screens for tears and use caulk to seal cracks around windows and doors where cluster flies might enter.
  • Lighting: Flies are attracted to light. Consider using yellow “bug lights” for exterior fixtures or moving lights away from doors.
