Flies (various species)

Intro:
Flies are fast-breeding pests found around homes, farms, and food areas. They contaminate food, spread bacteria, and irritate both people and animals. Because they reproduce so quickly, even a few flies can turn into a swarm in days.

Fun Fact:
Flies taste with their feet—when they land on food, they’re already “tasting” it!

Why They Appear

  1. Uncovered food & scraps – flies feed and lay eggs on leftovers.
  2. Dirty bins & waste – garbage attracts adult flies and provides breeding sites.
  3. Animal manure – ideal for egg-laying and larval growth.
  4. Warm weather – speeds up fly life cycles.
  5. Poor sanitation – spills, dirty surfaces, and clutter give them places to thrive.

How to Prevent Them

  1. Keep food covered – store in sealed containers or in the fridge.
  2. Manage waste properly – use closed bins and dispose of garbage regularly.
  3. Clean up animal manure – especially around stables or coops.
  4. Maintain hygiene – wipe surfaces, clean drains, and avoid spills.
  5. Use barriers – window screens, fly traps, or UV light traps to reduce numbers.
