In most cases, the odd house fly here and there is nothing to worry about. But a constant swarm of these buzzards can be a nuisance and an eyesore – plus a potential health risk to humans and animals.

The key to a safe and healthy environment is to take preventive measures and respond to the early signs of an infestation. While DIY methods can provide temporary relief, they often fail to remove the source of the problem – leaving the infestation to worsen.
Help from a licensed pest controller is the most effective way to achieve long term relief from house flies.

When you think of the word ‘fly,’ the appearance of a traditional house fly is most likely what comes to mind, including their:
In terms of lifecycle, flies have a relatively short lifespan of only a few months. But they can repopulate very quickly. How? Because the average female housefly can lay anywhere from 500 to 900 eggs during her lifetime.
Aside from being a nuisance, houseflies do have the potential to carry and transmit a range of diseases to humans and animals – such as food poisoning, cholera, conjunctivitis, dysentery, and salmonellosis.
This is largely due to the house fly’s diet, which mainly consists of faeces, rotting produce, trash, and spoiled meat. After feeding, the fly carries the bacteria from the food source and transmits it to any surface they land on.
House flies also tend to defecate and vomit wherever they land and feed. Unfortunately, if the fly is infected, so too is their digestive system. As a result, their vomit and faeces could transmit disease to an unsuspecting human or animal.
Houseflies are usually attracted to leftover or exposed food sources, pools of water (i.e. pot plants, gutters, and puddles), uncleaned spills, leaking drain pipes, and dripping air conditioner units.
Essentially, these are the house fly’s droppings. You can find them anywhere that the house flies land or feed on. Such as walls and ceilings, windows, light sources, and kitchen countertops, to name a few.
