Flies are commonly associated with unsanitary conditions, leading to feelings of disgust and annoyance among people in both residential and commercial settings. Apart from being a nuisance, flies can pose serious health risks as they can transfer diseases when they come into contact with food and kitchen surfaces. Additionally, certain species of flies are capable of delivering painful bites to humans and animals.
There are various ways flies can enter homes. They may be attracted to food products, such as fruit flies, or enter through open windows and doors. Flies can also breed in decaying organic matter found in drains, or infest dead animals hidden in walls or concealed voids within the home. In commercial settings, ongoing treatment may be necessary, especially in areas prone to drain breeding.
