HOUSE FLIES
Collier Pest Control is Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, including the common House Fly. The House Fly is of the most common of all insects. It is worldwide in distribution and is a pest in homes, barns, and poultry houses, food processing plants, dairies, and recreation areas. The House Fly has a tremendous breeding potential all year in Florida and can produce a generation in less than 2 weeks. House Fly eggs can be laid in almost any type of warm organic material, such as fermenting vegetation, manure, or garbage. House Fly eggs hatch within 24 hours into tiny larva called maggots. In 3 to 6 day these maggots migrate to drier areas and cocoon themselves just like a butterfly. A House Fly can complete its life cycle, (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) in Florida in 6 to 10 days, living a life span of about 30 days.
House Flies digest their food outside their bodies. They excrete a fluid on their food to digest it and then draw this fluid, with the digested food, up through their sponging sucking mouth part. This is why House Flies can vector or spread diseases such as dysentery and diarrhea. Flies can be a problem here in Southwest Florida all year round, but the strongest activity is from May through July.
Collier Pest Control has many ways to help you combat flies and their annoying problems. We have put together some items that can offer help with continuing fly problems. First, try to eliminate excess food sources such as open garbage cans, unused pet food, excess pet excrement, open drain covers, broken sprinkler heads, unclean mops and brooms. Eliminate any item a fly could use as food. Second, repair or correct all openings to your home or business a fly could enter such as broken screens, open doors, non sealing weather stripping, and open construction cracks in the building. Finally, Collier Pest Control can assist you in mechanical fly control. We can provide you with fly bait for quick easy control, electronic fly traps for inside or outside control, thorough broadcast treatment of insect controlling materials to help give you a quick control, and expert assistance from manufacturers, distributors, and educators.
