Flesh Fly
Flesh flies usually have gray bodies with three black stripes on the thorax. The abdomen has a light and dark gray checkerboard pattern and is often red at the tip. Though some species may be smaller than house flies, most flesh flies are about 10 to 13 mm long.
These flies are very instrumental in murder cases where forensic entomologist use maggots (fly larvae) collected on bodies to help determine the time of death. As with all species of flies, the first method of control is through sanitation. Wet organic material on which flies can lay their eggs must be removed, destroyed, therefore eliminating any future breeding sources. Killing adult flies will reduce infestation, but elimination of breeding areas is necessary for good management. House flies, flesh flies, bottle flies and blow flies breed in similar substances such as decaying organic materials like garbage, animal excrement or decaying animal carcass. Garbage cans and dumpsters should have tight-fitting lids and be cleaned regularly. Drainage will often aid control, getting rid of extra moisture. Openings of buildings should be tightly screened with screen.
Apply a dust such as Drione or Delta Dust to cracks or voids that you suspect may be harboring a dead rodent, animal carcass, or any other form of moist organic material.
For a quick knockdown of adult flies on the interior as well as the exterior, try CB-80 Pyrethrum.

Blow flies and flesh flies are very common flies associated with dead
animals. The larvae (maggots) of these flies feed on dead animal tissue and as
such are beneficial in nature as decomposer of dead animal carcasses. The
appearance of the flies or maggots in the house may possibly indicate that an
animal (i.e. rodent, bird, etc.) has died within the walls or in the attic.
On the exterior, surfaces and areas where
flesh flies land can be treated
with a residual insecticide such as
