Flies can be treated with general household sprays; however, it is the nearby hatching of fly larvae that could well be the root of the problem.
Larval Stage of Winged Insects
Maggots are the larvae of winged insects, especially houseflies and blowflies.
They are hatched from eggs which are usually laid on rotting meat or faeces. They have a putrid odor and disgust most people.
Detecting Maggot Infestation
Maggot infestation may often become noticeable after baiting for rodents or the discovery of uncovered food sources like unwrapped meat lying in garbage bins.
Flies are not only annoying, they can also carry harmful bacteria that they pick up from decaying materials and spread to any uncovered food sources becoming a risk to health and safety.
FAQs
Flies are attracted to food, waste, and moisture. If your home has uncovered food, overflowing bins, or pet waste, it can attract flies. They can also be drawn to drains, compost bins, and areas with standing water. Open doors and windows without screens can also allow flies to enter your home.
To prevent flies, keep your home clean and free of food scraps. Store food in sealed containers, take out the rubbish regularly, and ensure bins are covered. Fix any leaks and keep drains clean. Installing screens on windows and doors can help keep flies out, and using natural repellents like citronella or fly traps can be effective as well.
To get rid of flies, you can use fly traps, sticky paper, or electric fly zappers. Regularly cleaning surfaces, taking out the rubbish, and removing any potential food sources will also reduce their presence. For a persistent fly problem, please contact Scientific Pest Management.
