Flies won't stop buzzing around? Mosquito Squad offers the best Fly Control in Delafield, WI!

Helping to protect your home against house flies isn't just for comfort. It's also about helping to protect your health. While your fly swatter helps keep away the occasional visitor, sometimes professional help from Mosquito Squad of Waukesha County is needed to keep these pests away.

Why are there so many flies in my house?

Why do flies love to be inside your house? It's not always because your house is dirty. While it's important to keep your house clean, these super-smelling pests can smell any source of decay, even if it's not obvious to you!

Fly infestations can happen because of anything from an especially stinky garbage can to fruit left on the counter for a day or two past ripening, even if it is still edible. Flies are able to smell hints of decay from miles away, so any hint of decaying matter is an open invitation to your home.

Flies aren't just attracted to food sources. When the weather gets colder, they begin seeking out warmth, and our homes are the perfect place for them to wait out the winter until warmer weather comes around again.

How can I prevent a fly infestation in my home?

One way to keep flies out of your home is by making your home less appealing to them. There are a few ways you can do this, including:

Manage Your Waste

Seal garbage cans tightly with a lid that's made to keep pets out. Garbage bags should be removed as soon as they start to emit bad odors, even if they're only partially full. Remember: it doesn't take a strong smell to attract flies from miles away!

Keep it Neat

Clean up spills and food messes as soon as they happen, and store leftover food promptly after it's been served. Flies lay their eggs in old food, so a couple of flies wanting to taste your cooking can easily become a feasting swarm.

Reduce Moisture

Bacteria thrive in moist places and produce scents that attract flies. Keeping moisture from collecting in your home prevents these bacteria from growing.

Seal Entry Points

Because flies are tiny, they can get into your home through small cracks around door and window frames. Make sure to seal up any cracks as soon as you find them. If you like feeling a gentle breeze in warmer months, install sturdy screens in your windows and make sure there are no gaps around the window frame.

Keep Air Moving

Believe it or not, flies aren't actually great at flying. It is difficult for them to make their way through moving air, so turn on your ceiling fans on, place box fans around the house, and keep your windows open (and screens closed!) on days when the weather is nice.
