Are Flies Harmful?

We think it is safe to say that flies are among the most irritating pests, constantly buzzing in your ears and landing on your food. However, did you know that flies are also quite dangerous? While very few flies will actually bite or sting, most carry and transmit harmful pathogens and parasites that can make humans very sick. Flies pick up these pathogens and parasites from places they feed, such as trash cans, decaying animals, rotting food, and manure, and can transfer them.

Transmission of fly diseases occurs when flies make direct contact with people or the food they eat. The risk of disease transmission is higher in areas where sanitation practices are not strictly followed, making it crucial to maintain rigorous hygiene standards to prevent outbreaks.

Flies are known to transmit the following diseases:

• Dysentery
• Typhoid
• Cholera
• Trachoma
• Epidemic Conjunctivitis
• Cutaneous Diphtheria
• Leprosy
• Salmonella
• Tuberculosis
• Gastroenteritis

What Attracts Flies to Properties?

The best way to prevent flies is to understand what attracts them in the first place. Flies are attracted to food sources, including uncovered trash, animal droppings, old fruit, vegetable scraps, rotting meat, spilled sugary drinks, scum buildup in drains, and decaying flesh. They are also attracted to the warmth from homes and lights, as warmer environments make breeding easier.

Flies are also highly attracted to moisture and organic decomposing materials, making kitchens and garbage areas especially vulnerable. Maintaining a clean and dry environment is crucial. Even small amounts of food waste or moisture can serve as breeding grounds, so regular cleaning and proper waste disposal are pivotal in fly prevention.

How to Prevent Flies

Once a fly infestation is established in your home or business, it can be very difficult to eliminate. Once flies make their way onto your property, they can breed and expand their populations quite quickly, making prevention very important.
