The Lifecycle Of Flies: Identifying Vulnerable Stages

Although different types of flieshave different breeding processes, all go through the same four stages of development. Flies start out as eggs. These eggs hatch into larvae and then develop into pupa. The final stage of their development is the adult stage. Some common flies only live for about 24 hours after reaching adulthood. Others can survive for upwards of two months. It all depends on the species. One thing that is important with fly control is identifying which stage of life these pests are in. This affects how we apply treatments and approach infestations in general. Bring in our team if you would like to find out what types of flies you are dealing with and are curious to know what control methods will be needed to stop these pests. 

Confronting Flies In The House: Understanding The Risks

Flies do not seem like dangerous pests at first glance. Besides, how harmful could a tiny bug like that be? Fairly dangerous, as it turns out. Certain types of flies, like house flies, are incredibly harmful with the diseases they carry on their bodies. These common pests, along with a few other local species, transmit bacteria, pathogens, and other disease-causing organisms by crawling over surfaces and food inside homes. These pests pick up sickness vectors from the dirty things they eat and the nasty places they crawl over. Keeping this in mind, it is important that you find some method to prevent and control these pests.
