Fly control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Belmont. Older multi-family buildings in the residential streets around Arthur Avenue have shared basements and ageing plumbing that let mice and German cockroaches establish across floors; the food-retail density makes fly control a persistent issue in the warmer months.
Fly control in Belmont: what to know
Belmont's Arthur Avenue is the Bronx's famous 'Little Italy' — a dense concentration of Italian bakeries, butchers, cheese shops and restaurants whose food-retail intensity generates exceptionally strong rodent and cockroach pressure throughout the commercial block and spilling into the surrounding residential streets.
The Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden immediately to the east create a large green buffer that brings wildlife (raccoons, skunks, opossums) into residential yards bordering the institutional grounds, and seasonal mosquito and tick pressure is elevated near the zoo perimeter.

Signs you need fly control
- Small flies hovering around drains, sinks, or fruit
- Flies concentrated near a specific drain or piece of equipment
- A recurring fly problem in a kitchen or food-prep area
How we treat fly control in Belmont
Flies are a sanitation and reputation problem, especially for restaurants and food service. Fruit flies and drain flies breed in the organic film inside drains, under equipment and in damp build-up — so killing the adults does nothing if the breeding source remains.
We identify the species and trace the breeding source, eliminate it, and treat to knock down the adult population, with ongoing options for food-service clients where fly pressure is constant.
