Flies are more than just a nuisance—they can pose serious health risks by spreading disease. With over 120,000 known species worldwide, including house flies, fruit flies, sewer flies, and cluster flies, these pests are especially common in late summer and early fall and can infest homes and businesses rapidly.
Flies are attracted to decaying organic matter and can contaminate food by transferring pathogens from one surface to another. That's why early intervention and professional treatment are essential.
At Cal-Rid Pest Control we specialize in comprehensive fly control in Calgary. Whether you're dealing with a handful of fruit flies in the kitchen or a large cluster fly infestation in the attic, our licensed team has the tools and experience to eliminate the problem at its source.


Often found around garbage and food.

Attracted to ripened or fermenting fruits and vegetables.

Thrive in moist environments, often coming from organic buildup in drains.

Common in fall and winter, found in attics and windows.
Proactive prevention is the first line of defense. To reduce your risk of a fly infestation:
1.Keep your kitchen clean – Wipe down counters, and clean up spills right away.
2.Check between and behind appliances – Food debris often gets stuck in tight spaces.
3.Seal garbage, compost, and recycling – Use tightly sealed bins and empty them regularly.
4.Inspect doors and windows – Use fine mesh screens and seal any gaps or cracks.
5.Store food in air-tight containers – Especially fruits, sweets, and meats.
6.Limit outdoor lighting at night– Lights attract flying insects.
7.Clean drains regularly – Use a wire brush, bio-foam, or drain cleaner to remove buildup.

In the animal control business, it’s easy to claim to know everything about the industry, but it is a completely different thing to actually be able to do the work successfully. When hiring an animal control specialist, be sure that the business is more than just talk and that they can also get the job done. Poorly trained technicians can result in inefficient work and safety or health concerns in the end, which could cost you time and money. Choose a specialist who has plenty of experience and will get the job done right.
Though having rodents and other unwanted pests in your home can be a major nuisance, the animals themselves are not to blame. Many animals that invade residences are simply looking for a place of shelter after being driven out of their natural habitat. When choosing a specialist for animal control in Calgary, you should be sure to ask about the company’s procedures and whether or not they remove the animals humanely. A good animal control specialist will be aware of the specific laws in place that specify proper treatment of wildlife and will be sure to follow them.
Be sure the company you hire is properly licensed to conduct the processes required for insect and pest control. This job requires the correct skills and know-how to complete it safely and successfully. By working with someone who is not properly licensed, you could be risking your family’s safety, property damage and inhumane treatment of the animals involved. Be sure to ask all candidates if their technicians have undergone proper training, if they have a trapping license and whether they conduct the process humanely.
Only an experienced professional can utilize past experiences and apply that knowledge to the task at hand. Cal-Rid Pest Control will look and determine what would be the best plan of action for rodent control in your Calgary home.
If the pests figure out another way to get in your home, our technicians will come back out and look at what’s happened to try and fix the problem. It’s doubtful that poison could be returned to the store it was bought from just because it was ineffective.
If you go to the store and buy rodent poison or a mouse trap, that could work for a single vermin, but if there’s more than one, it’s probably more cost-effective to hire an exterminator. In one session, we’ll look for areas of your home where mice and other rodents could be entering from, and put in place the proper steps to remove rodents from your home and keep them out.
Store-bought poisons to kill a rodent or other mammal can work, but it could also have an adverse health effect on home residents. A young child or pet could come into contact with those poisons and potentially suffer serious harm. Our fully licensed technicians will use materials that are intended for safe use near children and pets, and ensure that the best plan of action is implemented.
