Do You Have A House Fly Infestation?
Have you seen an increase in flies in the house? If the flies in your home are dark gray, about ¼ inch long, and create a constant buzzing sound – it’s likely you are dealing with a common fly in Seattle and Portland.
Most commonly found throughout the summer in Washington and Oregon, house flies find their way into homes searching for living, breeding, and feeding grounds. House flies – like other common flies – become active when temperatures rise. Once house flies infest your home, they will quickly find opportunities to breed.
House flies reproduce rapidly and often find areas of a home such as the garbage or less sanitary areas of a home as a perfect breeding ground. A single house fly is capable of laying 150 eggs in just one sitting. House flies will often lay multiple batches of eggs over a few days. They may also carry unwanted germs that can contaminate your home.
How To Identify House Flies
When it comes to house flies, there is no secret to identifying an infestation. If you see an uptick in flies in your home – especially hanging out on walls, floors, ground, and window ceilings – you should contact Pest Pros to examine whether or not you have a fly infestation in your home.
If not tended to right away – a house fly infestation can happen quickly, leaving you in an undesired situation.
How To Get Rid Of House Flies
The best way to get rid of house flies is to prevent them from entering your home.
Common practices to keep flies out of your home include maintaining clean spaces and contained garbage areas. Eliminate sources of water available for flies and keep surfaces such as sinks, baths, and drains dry after use.
Ensure doors and other entryways are closed or blocked by a mesh screen to keep flies from entering your home during peak season.
