Flies can quickly become a major nuisance in any Spokane property, creating an unsanitary and uncomfortable environment.

Identifying Common Fly Problems
Effectively controlling a fly problem begins with correctly identifying the type of fly invading your space, as different species have unique habits and breeding sites. Understanding which pest you are dealing with is the first step toward implementing the right treatment strategy and achieving long-term success.
Here are some common types of flies you might encounter:
- House Flies: These are the most common flies found indoors. They are gray with four dark stripes on their thorax and are drawn to garbage, excrement, and decaying organic material, making them significant carriers of disease.
- Fruit Flies: Tiny and often tan-colored with red eyes, fruit flies are attracted to fermenting fruits, vegetables, and sugary liquids. You'll typically find them swarming in kitchens, near trash bins, or around spilled drinks.
- Drain Flies: Small, fuzzy, moth-like flies that are poor fliers. They breed in the organic sludge that builds up inside drains, garbage disposals, and pipes, often indicating a sanitation issue that needs to be addressed.
Recognizing these pests and their preferred environments is key. A professional can accurately identify the species and pinpoint the breeding grounds to create a targeted and effective elimination plan.
Beyond the Fly Swatter: The Need for Professional Control
While swatting or trapping a few flies might seem effective, these DIY methods rarely address the root of an infestation. A persistent fly problem is a sign of an active breeding site nearby, and adult flies are only a small part of the much larger issue lurking out of sight.
Professionals are trained to think like pests. They can identify the specific species and locate hidden breeding grounds that homeowners often miss, such as in drains or wall voids. This allows for a targeted approach that breaks the life cycle, which is something surface sprays can never accomplish.
Ultimately, investing in professional fly control is about protecting your health and property. Experts use strategic, industry-approved products to eliminate the threat safely and provide preventative solutions, ensuring your environment is not just fly-free but also hygienic and secure from future invasions.

Skunks
Their most unique feature is their black body which has a white stripe starting at their head and divides into two stripes that travel down their entire body and tail. But, their most identifiable characteristic is the extremely foul odor that skunks spray from glands found at the base of their tail as a defense mechanism. If sprayed directly into a person's or animal's eyes the spray can cause temporary blindness.
Adult skunks grow to between 20 and 30 inches in length, with their tail adding 7-15 inches to their total length. Adults weigh between 2.5 and 11.5 pounds (i.e. the size of a small housecat).
*Limited services available for skunks.

Raccoons
Raccoons have many easily recognizable physical features including a black “mask” of fur that surrounds their eyes, fluffy black and gray ringed tails, and a hunched appearance caused because their hind legs are longer than their front legs. Their bodies are covered in dense salt and peppered colored fur. Raccoons may grow to up to three feet in length and weigh between 10 and 30 pounds.
