House Fly
Size: Medium-sized flies from 1/4"- Color: Black. The adult has the fourth wing vein sharply angled and four length-wise dark stripes on the top of the thorax.
Flies lay their eggs in almost any warm moist material which will furnish suitable food for the growing larvae. Animal manure, human excrement, garbage, decaying vegetable material and ground contaminated with such organic mater are suitable materials. Although they are attracted to a wide variety of food materials, house flies have mouthparts which enable them to ingest only liquid materials. Solid materials are liquefied by means of regurgitated saliva. This liquefied food is then drawn up by the mouthparts and passed onto the digestive tract. During daylight hours house flies will rest on floors, walls and ceilings indoors. Outdoors they will rest on plants, on the ground, on fence wires, garbage cans and other similar surfaces. At night they will rest principally on ceilings, electric wires and dangling light cords indoors. In all situations they prefer corners and edges or thin objects such as wires and strings. 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.
For a quick knockdown of adult flies, try CB-80 Pyrethrum. This ready to use aerosol is labeled for interior and exterior use.
For an insecticide Free Approach, Try the EZ Fly Trap!
Nuisance flies are drawn to the strip by a triple-action attractant. After flies locate the device, they explore the surface, and then begin feeding. Flies die within seconds after they begin feeding. Try the QuikStrike Fly Abatement Strips!
