Fly pest control

The most common flying pest in buildings is the common housefly. A prolific breeder and feeder among refuse and excrement from which it flies to human food. In a hot summer, the egg to adult life cycle takes only 10 days.
Flies carry and spread a wide range of gastro enteric illnesses and food poisoning organisms. In warm countries these include diphtheria, cholera and dysentery.

Bluebottles are characterised by their large size, buzzing flight and iridescent sheen. They are attracted to meat and fish products, upon which they lay their eggs as well as feed.
Maggots are notorious disease carriers and spoilers of food. Maggots sometimes travel in large numbers from refuse into buildings.

Fruit flies are very small, and have a slow hovering flight with their abdomen hanging downwards. Various species breed among over-ripe fruit, fermenting liquids, peelings, and soft drink and beer residue. Not major disease carriers, but an unacceptable form of contamination in public houses, factories, warehouses, dairies, bottling plants and similar premises.

Control of flies can be achieved in various ways. For commercial properties proofing of window and door openings can keep out adult flies. The use of electronic fly killers (EFK’s) is an option to consider.
Other methods for use in domestic premises include insecticide sprays and slow release hanging strips.
