FLY CONTROL
House flies are a nuisance and bring a host of diseases that endangers your health and your loved ones. To eliminate them completely requires tracing the underlying cause and where they lay their eggs on your property or proximate areas.
You see house flies all around, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. You spot them in garbage, food, feces, or probably when you are out on a picnic. These pests know how to annoy people as they seem to buzz around you while enjoying your meal, soaking in the sun, or having a good conversation with friends.
However, they are more than a mild annoyance as they can carry diseases and parasites with them.
House Flies
Of course, nothing in nature is accidental. No matter how much you hate them, flies have an important role to play as a food source for other insects and amphibians. They also act as pollinators.
With that said, house flies can multiply quickly, and a decent number can rapidly lead to an infestation. People who live near livestock or poultry always deal with this problem.
According to the educational organization Penn State Extension, house flies may be responsible for at least 65 fatal diseases, including the following:
- Typhoid fever
- Dysentery
- Cholera
- Poliomyelitis
- Yaws
- Anthrax
- Tularemia
- Leprosy
- Tuberculosis
You need to nip the problem in the bud if you see house flies hovering around your home or place of business.
Cluster Flies
Cluster flies are significantly larger and sometimes appear green, with golden hairs protruding from its body. Their larvae come from the earthworms, which serve as the host of these parasites.
However, there’s no documented case of human disease associated with cluster flies.
Like the common house flies, however, cluster flies can become a nuisance really fast. For instance, they leave their mark by imprinting their excrement on your windows and walls.
You will see them in your home in the summer or early spring since they hibernate throughout winter.
Greenheads Flies
The less common species is called the Greenhead. In other parts of the U.S., it’s called the horse fly. They love hot weather and damp areas, so they thrive in pasturelands, creeks, and swamps.
However, during mid-July and through much of summer, they descend in New England and other parts of Massachusetts.
Unlike the common house fly and its cousin, the cluster fly, the Greenhead female needs blood to survive and produce eggs. So, they bite domestic animals, pets, and even people.
According to the Northeastern Massachusetts website, Greenheads are not known to carry any diseases. But, of course, it’s a small consolation, considering how persistently annoying and painful their bites are.
