Why Are Some Homes Fly Breeding Paradises?

Have you ever noticed that, for some reason, there seem to be more flies in your house than in your neighbor’s or friend’s house? The conditions in your house may be to blame. Fortunately, Mosquito Squad Plus is here to support you with our Simpsonville, SC fly control treatments!

Why are there so many flies in my house?

In our experience with fly control in Simpsonville, SC, unsanitary conditions are associated with flies for a reason. Even if you do keep your home neat and tidy, overripe fruits, uncovered garbage bins, pet waste, and even neglected drains quickly become bustling nurseries for fly larvae.

Once flies have identified either a good place to get the water they need or a convenient food source – which they can locate using their remarkable sense of smell – they will exploit even the tiniest openings to enter your home. Open windows, gaps under doors, and unsealed vents provide convenient entry points. This is also why your parents were probably always telling you to close the door when you came inside!

How can I prevent a fly infestation in my home?

Here are some of the most useful steps you can take to prevent flies from taking over your home:

Secure garbage bins with tight lids and dispose of trash regularly.
Clean up spills promptly and avoid leaving food scraps exposed.
If you have pets, clean up after them diligently.
Inspect your home for cracks, gaps, or openings around windows, doors, and vents.
Install screens on windows and doors to prevent flies from entering, even if they stay open for ventilation.
Use fans, both indoors and outdoors, to create a breeze that makes it difficult for them to land and linger.
Keep it neat – regularly clean surfaces, floors, and countertops. (Pay special attention to areas where flies tend to gather, such as kitchens and bathrooms.)
Clean drains regularly and quickly dispose of any standing water.

The most effective thing you can do, however, is professional fly control, available now in Simpsonville, SC!

Why do I need Simpsonville, SC fly control?

Flies feed on any kind of decaying matter they can find. That can include rotting produce, pet waste, garbage, and even dead animals. Any source of decaying matter will house a growth of harmful bacteria that can get you sick. When flies land on these food sources, they will pick up that bacteria, which is then transferred when they land on your food, as they often like to do any time something is left sitting out, like during a party. In fact, flies are associated with at least 200 pathogens that can infect humans and other animals. It’s important to get a handle on any fly issues before they grow unwieldy so that you aren’t putting your health at risk.
