Owners of hotels large and small all across the country know that it takes a lot to make a guest’s stay amazing - but it only takes one bad pest experience to ruin their stay altogether.

Case in point: flies. Certainly, nobody likes having to deal with flies at any time of year - but allowing flies to prosper in your hotel can set a bad precedent for guests looking to get comfortable, and may just ruin that hard-won guest-patron relationship for good.

There’s an old bit of wisdom that says there is strength in numbers - and for flies of all sizes, the numbers game plays a huge role in their continued success. But for one particularly troublesome fall invader, this strategy carries exceptionally well right out of summer and into the colder autumn and winter months: the cluster fly.
