Fly Facts, Appearance and Diet

Flies are a winged nuisance pest and are carriers of disease and vectors for pathogens and parasites. Flies are common familiar insects found all over the world. Flies have two pairs of wings and compound eyes. Flies develop from larvae, called maggots. Adult flies are usually a nuisance some distance from the breeding location of the fly larvae.
The house fly is the most common type of fly found in and around domestic locations.
Flies feed on a variety of material, including decaying or fermenting organic matter.

Fly Health Threats &amd Concerns

Flies feed on trash and filth and can carry and transmit diseases and pathogens because they regularly land on decaying and rotten materials such as animal waste, sewage, garbage, rotting debris, dead animals and other organic matter. House flies do not bite. Rather, they transmit diseases by landing on sources of pathogens and then landing on food and other areas that come into contact with humans.

Fly Infestation Fly Control

The most common attractants of flies in Southwest Riverside County are manure, grass clippings, household garbage and animal waste, among others. Fly problems typically begin outdoors and make their way inside through doors and windows.

AmeriGuard Pest Defense provides fly control services. Fly control is a multi-step approach and involves identifying the type of fly causing the problem as well as locating the breeding source of the fly larvae. The fly larvae may not be located in your backyard, but may be coming from a neighboring location as far as 1-2 miles away. The fact that flies spend most of their time in the air presents an additional challenge for fly elimination. A successful fly control service depends on the cooperation of our customers.

Fly treatment services are available on a One-Time basis or as part of an ongoing Monthly, Bi-Monthly, Quarterly General Pest Control service. An exterior fly control service can be added to your regularly scheduled maintenance plan. If your property is infested with flies frequently, our service technician will advise of the best course of action for controlling your fly problem.

Flies and Fly Control - How to Reduce Fly Populations

Flies are a nuisance and spread disease where ever they land. The common non-biting house fly (Musca domestica) can transmit over 100 disease-causing organisms and are linked directly to typhoid, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, pinworms, roundworms, whip worms, hookworms and tapeworms, among others. Disease-causing organisms are picked up by flies from garbage, sewage, rotting debris, dead animal carcasses, animal excrement, etc. and are directly transmitted to us by way of their mouthparts or through their vomit or feces to our food, food preparation surfaces, sanitary items and to almost anything else that we contact. The large number of farms, vineyards, dairies and citrus groves in Southwest Riverside County play a major part in the swarms we see throughout the year. Flies spend most of their time in the air, making flies one of the hardest pests to control.

Another potential challenge for eliminating flies is elimination of their larval developmental sites, which could extend beyond your yard and into a nearby farm or neighbor's residence. These developmental sites may be at some distance from the adult nuisances. 

Things You Can Do At Home to Reduce Fly Populations

  • Keep all drains clean and clear. Grease pits should be cleaned at least monthly.
  • Dispose of garbage in a timely manner, make sure your trash can lids are snug fitting.
  • Keep trash cans far from windows or doors.
  • Keep windows and doors screened, check windows and doors for gaps and holes where flies can squeeze through.
  • Reduce rotting vegetation and fallen fruit if your yard has gardens or fruit trees.
  • Pick up all animal waste on a regular basis
  • Remove all dead animals.
  • Keep exposed food covered.
  • Do not over water houseplants.
  • Do not let food buildup under tables or in other hard to reach areas.
  • Mop or steam clean floor on a regular basis.

Fly Management Program

Flies are difficult to completely eliminate, however AmeriGuard’s Fly Management Program will help to reduce your current flies, as well as help control any future fly infestations. Most fly infestations originate outside.  To achieve optimum fly control, our licensed technician will apply a specially formulated fly bait product on the back wall of your property. This fly bait will draw flies to the treated area, eliminating them as they contact it. This treatment will not completely eliminate flies but is highly effective at dramatically reducing your fly problem. Future service treatments will be exterior-only, without requiring you to be home or having to worry about scheduling conflicts. AmeriGuard offers Monthly, Bi-Monthly and one time fly services with no contract required.
