Fly and flying insect control
Flying insects and house flies can become a major annoyance to your property. Not only are they able to spread disease, but they also create mess with droppings, staining paint and tarnishing furniture.
WHY FLIES?
The flies encountered in urban and industrial premises can be of many types, but it is generally accepted that those which are regarded as pests are those which spread disease through contamination cause physical damage and are a general nuisance many moth species like the brown house moth and the common clothes moth can cause serious damage.
Artificial lights interfere with an insect’s ability to detect the moonlight. They appear brighter and radiate their light in multiple directions. Once an insect flies close enough to a light bulb, it attempts to navigate by way of the artificial light, rather than the moon hence why flying insects are attracted to the light.
Flying insects within the home or workplace are not just a nuisance, some flies such as bluebottles and house flies can contaminate foodstuffs.
Flies generally prefer corners and edges or thin objects to rest on.
Indoors, they rest on floors, walls, and ceilings during the day. Outdoors, they will rest on plants, the ground, fence wires, garbage cans, etc. Night resting places are usually near sources of food and 5 to 15 feet off the ground. Wide variety of food, including human food, animal food, and carcasses, garbage and excrement.
