Remove garbage daily. Use plastic trash liners, then twist and tie them when disposing of them. Do not empty garbage into metal trash cans without liners. At any rate, not using a trash can liner will cause odours that will attract flies. If you cannot use a liner for whatever reason, wash the trash can out with a disinfecting cleaner regularly.
Do not use an electrical bug zapper indoors or within 100 feet of the building. Electrical bug zappers cause the insect to explode, releasing insect body parts as far as 10 -15 feet away from the zapper. Also, do not use light traps. Light traps will trap the entire insect and are safe to use directly over stoves. As well as food preparation surfaces in most cases.
Indoor sprays such as Responsar are similarly effective in controlling flies. Be sure to spray window sills and other fly resting spots. Do not spray TV, lamps and others with insect sprays. Also, Ripcord contains Australian pyrethrum lethal to flies. Besides, fog liberally into rooms, garages, and such areas where flies group. A quick spray around windows will kill flies that are trapped behind curtains and blinds.
Commercial kitchens and bars should be aware that fruit flies love the smell and taste of beer. Thus, mop or rinse off beer spilt on floors every night to prevent fruit fly infestations. Similarly, the use of a commercial floor cleaner also helps. Drain gel helps to remove the organic buildup caused by washing grease and food down floor drains. Thus, use drain gel every week. Fruit fly traps effectively catch fruit flies directly on bar tops and other food preparation surfaces where regular fly control spray cannot be placed.
Never allow the house plants to sit in water and become soggy. In fact, soggy plant soil will harbour flies and the like.
Paper fly and inexpensive glue strips are somewhat effective at capturing flies, but in most cases, they do not attract them and depend on an attractant of some sort or a shiny surface. Also, flypaper is messy and not very sanitary. For this reason, flypaper is not recommended for use in kitchens or other indoor hygienic areas.
Timed release spray mist that dispenses pyrethrum regularly are also somewhat effective at controlling flies. Place time-release misters away from food areas and not place in areas where people will remain for extended periods. Never use time-release misters in kitchens, offices, and other areas.
Highly recommended for fly control indoors. They are safe, capture the entire fly and are easily maintainable. Light traps work best at night when there are no other light sources to attract flies. Thus, light traps should only be placed indoors. The UV light emitted from light traps will attract flying insects from hundreds of yards. Do not place light traps near windows or doors.
Most over the counter fly control products sold at hardware stores do not contain the same attractants or active ingredients as professional use products. Although the packaging and advertising may appear convincing, millions of dollars are wasted by consumers annually on over the counter products that do not work long term.
A buzzing house fly is simply irritating. But besides the annoyance, you might not realise there are plenty of good reasons to swat every fly that comes your way. Keep them out of your home altogether. Flies breed in animal waste and decaying organic material, such as garbage and rotting fruit fallen from trees. And as a result, they pick up bacteria and viruses that can make humans sick.
Fly live in garbage and wherever animal faeces are available. Dead animals attract flies within hours after death. Most flies are diurnal.
Fly can produce an array of symptoms, including pain, itching, urticaria, and cellulitis. An allergic response is the most common, which may be characterised by hives, and in some cases, wheezing. Also, Tabanid bites are very painful, with some severe developing lesions, fever, and general disability. This allergic response is due to the large amounts of saliva injected by the fly to prevent their blood meal from clotting.
Fly is widespread throughout Australia’s warmer parts and will attack humans, livestock, and domestic pets to acquire blood. It is stoutly built and is solid and swift fliers that tend to be more active throughout the summer months, especially in still, open sunny areas. The Tabanids, mainly, are influenced by weather and respond to barometric pressure, wind, cloud cover, and temperature changes. In short, there are hidden dangers of flies.
