Flies are both a bother and a health hazard. They are known to pass different pathogens and parasites to humans and other animals. As flies frequent dead and decaying materials, they pick up bacteria and spread it wherever they land. If you think a fly problem may be developing on your property, it’s worthwhile to proactively address it. Our technicians at Mosquito Squad Plus® help control pest problems with targeted treatments. When spraying for flies outdoors, we identify and treat the source of infestation to make your yard, home, or stable safer! Learn more about flies and good methods for fly control.

Fun Fact About Flies 🪰

Flies have compound eyes that allow them to see nearly every direction at once. This makes them great at detecting motion and potential danger.

All About Flies

Flies are small, winged insects with special mouthparts that allow them to feed on liquids. Many flying insects are types of flies, including gnats and mosquitoes. Flies are attracted to food sources such as decaying organic matter, feces, and sugary substances. Common fly habitats and breeding areas include garbage bins, compost piles, drains, farms, and damp soil.

Get to know some common flies around homes and yards:

Cluster Flies

These large, slow flies have a checkered pattern on their bodies and are often found in homes during cooler months. They look for cracks in window screens and along doors to get inside and gather in attics and other quiet, sheltered spaces. Unlike other common flies, they do not lay eggs on decaying matter; instead, their larvae develop inside earthworms.

Fruit Flies

Fruit flies are tan and small with distinctive red eyes. They are commonly seen near ripening or decaying fruits and vegetables. They lay eggs in these foods, which makes them a frequent problem in kitchens and grocery stores. Fruit fly infestations are especially common during late summer and early fall when many fruits are ripening and homes are warmer.

Houseflies

These flies are common in homes, restaurants, and farms. They breed in decaying organic matter, garbage, and manure, which makes them carriers of bacteria and diseases. They can be distinguished by the black and gray stripes along their body.

Horse Flies

Horse flies are large, sometimes over an inch long. They’re also quite fast and are especially known for their painful bites. Female horse flies require blood for reproduction. They are commonly found near water, where their larvae develop in moist soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes a fly infestation?

Fly infestations are most often caused by leaving garbage, food, or waste accessible to flies. Poor sanitation and rotting or fermented food are a fly’s best friends. It always helps to properly dispose of waste and garbage. Other common causes of infestations include poor outdoor water drainage and standing or slowly moving water, which is a haven for bacteria that may attract flies.

What repels flies?

Strong herbs such as peppermint and basil, smoke from a bonfire or candles, and natural predators like bats and frogs all help deter flies. However, none of these repellents will quickly address a fly problem. Professional fly control service is the only fast and efficient way to mitigate flies.

Can you spray your yard for flies?

Yes, professional yard treatment for flies effectively controls populations and helps prevent infestation. Storebought bug sprays, on the other hand, are not effective when sprayed on your yard.
