ABOUT PESTS
HOUSE FLY
House flies are known to carry over 100 different pathogens, including E. coli and Salmonella, contaminating food and surfaces.
Pest Details
Flies reproduce at an astonishing rate, with a single female capable of laying up to 500 eggs in her lifetime. These eggs hatch quickly, often within a day, leading to a rapid increase in fly populations. Because flies mature and reproduce in such short cycles, a small problem can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation, posing health risks and sanitation concerns in homes and businesses.
House flies enter homes through open doors, windows, cracks, and vents, especially if there are no screens. They are attracted to food, garbage, and decaying matter and can also hitch a ride on pets or objects brought inside.
House flies don’t cause structural damage, but they spread bacteria and diseases like Salmonella, E. coli, and cholera by contaminating food and surfaces. Their presence can lead to foodborne illnesses and hygiene issues.
House flies live 15–30 days, but they reproduce rapidly, laying hundreds of eggs in their short lifespan. Warm conditions can extend their survival and increase infestations.
