Describe when they appear
Record the rooms, approximate numbers and whether the pattern returns at similar times of year. Take photographs without climbing into inaccessible roof spaces. Mention roof or window repairs that may have changed access.
Ask about management and proofing
Discuss the identified species, the extent of activity and suitable treatment if needed. Building checks may include window edges and roof openings while preserving ventilation. Avoid applying aerosol products into inaccessible voids on a guess. A plan can then address the particular pattern rather than treating every indoor fly problem the same way.
Note unused rooms
Upper rooms kept shut for long periods may make a pattern harder to notice until the property is used again. Explain how the rooms have been occupied and ventilated. That history can help the assessment without turning seasonal timing into a definitive identification of the fly species.
