A fly is a small insect that can be seen around all over the world. Flies are typically attracted to sources of rotting organic matter. They are a part of the insect order Diptera. They are also a common sight in gardens and on windows. They are typically harmless but can become a nuisance if they become a pest. Flies are not just found in gardens and on windows, they can also be found in homes and businesses. There are many different types of flies, including houseflies, bluebottles, fruit flies, vinegar flies, cluster flies, crane flies, and fruit flies.

Flies are also known to transmit diseases. Some of the diseases they transmit are typhoid fever, dysentery, and cholera. Fly eggs are laid in moist and dirty areas, such as garbage and animal feces. These eggs hatch into larvae that can grow into flies in as little as 10 days. Flies can also enter homes through open windows and doors. Flies are attracted to light and can be found in homes at night. To prevent a fly infestation, it is important to seal up cracks and holes around windows and doors and to keep the house clean.

Are flies dangerous?

Flies have the potential to be dangerous pests. They can spread many diseases, human pathogens, and parasites to people. Flies pick up bacteria on their bodies and legs as they fly around feeding and landing on unsanitary things like carrion, excrement, decaying vegetation, and debris found in drains. Flies spread dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, conjunctivitis, and parasitic tapeworms.

Where will I find flies?

Outside, flies gather around food and water sources. Flies can be found in large numbers buzzing around compost piles, gardens, clogged gutters, garbage bins, and animal excrement. Inside homes and other buildings, house flies are most often found in kitchens, pantries, and other areas where food is stored. Drain flies feed and breed inside sinks, showers, and bathtub drains. Fruit flies feed and breed on ripe or decaying fruits and vegetables. Fruit flies can become problematic in homes, grocery stores, restaurants, and food processing facilities.
