Fly control in Fulham
A sudden fly problem in a Fulham home is more often traced to the garden than the kitchen — foxes and decking are as much a part of the picture as anything indoors.
Local detail
Flies in Fulham
Fulham's gardens are already a known source of fox activity, sheltering under decking and in overgrown corners, and that same decking is a plausible place for a large fly problem to start. A sudden appearance of large, sluggish flies indoors usually means something has died in a void or cavity, and in a Fulham garden that can be as close as the space under the decking a fox has been using.
The connected run of back gardens behind Fulham's terraces also means a source is not always on the property reporting the problem — a dead animal or breeding site a few gardens along can produce flies that travel into a neighbouring house.
Signs to look for
Signs of flies in Fulham
What tends to bring a Fulham fly call in:
- A sudden appearance of large, slow flies indoors with no obvious food source in the room
- Fly activity near decking or a garden corner known for fox shelter
- Persistent flies around a kitchen sink or floor drain in a converted flat
- Flies concentrated in one room, pointing at something above, below or behind it

Questions
Flies in Fulham — common questions
If your question is not here, call and ask. It is a quick conversation and it usually saves a visit either way.
07886 109682It is a real possibility here, given how often foxes shelter under decking in Fulham gardens. A sudden appearance of large, sluggish flies is worth investigating at ground level as well as indoors.
Small flies persisting around a sink or floor drain usually mean the source is inside the drain itself, which can look clean from above while still producing flies. It is not a reflection on how the kitchen is kept.
In a terrace with connected back gardens, yes, that is possible. We work back from where flies are concentrated to find the actual source, wherever it turns out to be.
