Why cluster flies thrive in Stoke-on-Trent.
Stoke-on-Trent is a city in West Midlands, and the local cluster flies pressure is shaped by its building stock and street pattern. We see repeat activity in sub-floor voids and compost heaps, with most ingress traced to gaps under garage doors — and, on older stock, uncapped soil stacks. Pressure rises in autumn through late winter, when outside food collapses and they push indoors, and the temperate midlands climate keeps activity steady year-round. Coverage spans ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more.
