Houseflies are one of the most common and troublesome pests found in homes, restaurants, markets, hospitals, farms, and other settings across Kenya. Known for their persistence and ability to spread disease-causing pathogens, houseflies pose serious health risks and can contaminate food, surfaces, and living spaces. Rafiki Pest Control offers professional housefly control services to effectively reduce and eliminate housefly populations, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment.

Why Housefly Control Is Important

  • Houseflies carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and food poisoning.
