What Attracts Flies & How to Keep Them Away

What Attracts Flies & How Can You Keep Them Away for Good?

Orange County is one of those places where living is just plain fun. The truly phenomenal weather and easy access to gorgeous natural landscapes like beaches, mountains, forests, and deserts make it a great place to raise a family or enjoy solo. But when you’re stuck dealing with flies that are invading your home, there’s less time to appreciate the great parts of living here.

That’s why Mosquito Squad is here to help. We know how frustrating it can be to constantly worry about fly infestations, and our Orange County fly control services can help you finally take back your home.

However, let’s talk first about what’s attracting these pesky buzzing pests and how our treatments truly help you keep them away year-round.

What Causes Fly Problems in Orange County?

Something we love in Orange County is the weather. On any given day, you can typically count on bright blue skies and sunshine. However, the warm weather is actually part of what contributes to the fly problem here. The warmer climate tends to accelerate the breeding cycles of pests like flies. Pair that with pet waste on sidewalks and lawns, improper garbage disposal practices, and even fallen fruit left to rot on the ground, and you’ve got yourself the perfect recipe for a fly infestation. 

But let’s say you don’t experience those issues in your neighborhood: people clean up after their pets, and neighbors never leave their garbage out for long periods of time. You could still have flies because there could be factors in your home and yard that attract them—and, worse yet, letting them get inside. 

Here are a few things you can do to protect your home from flies:

• Keep garbage sealed at all times, and don’t let it get too full.
• Pick up pet waste immediately.
• Remove any standing water from your home & yard, and fix any leaky faucets, pipes, or water sources.
• If you have fruit trees in your yard, be sure to avoid letting fallen fruit rot on the ground.
• Clean your sink drains and run your garbage disposal regularly to prevent food from rotting in them or water from stagnating.
• Wipe up messes right away, especially ones involving sugary drinks or snacks.
