House Flies

House flies start with small populations in the spring which grow over the summer. They can indicate the presence of unsanitary conditions or carrion and carry as many as 65 serious and potentially fatal diseases. It is advisable to quickly deal with a house fly infestation.  Establish a plan you before a house fly infestation becomes uncontrollable.

House Fly Habitat

They Live in and around human structures, making their homes in wall voids, storage boxes, attics, barns, sheds, lofts, basements, crawl spaces, cabinets, warehouses and many other similar locations. They prefer to nest close to food and water sources.

House Fly Prevention

Good sanitation will also reduce food and shelter for existing mice and in turn make baits and traps more effective. Pay particular attention to eliminating places where mice can find shelter. If they have few places to rest, hide or build nests. Eliminate all openings through which they can enter a structure. All places where food is stored, should be made mouse-proof. All food should be stored in glass jars, metal canisters or other resealable airtight containers.
