Essential Fly Information
Types of Flies
Flies are more than just a nuisance—they can carry diseases and contaminate food and surfaces. Understanding the different types of flies can help identify infestations and determine the best control method. Here are some of the most common fly species found in and around homes and businesses:
1. House Flies
These are the most common indoor flies. They are gray with four dark stripes on their thorax and are about 1/4 inch long. House flies breed in garbage, decaying matter, and feces, and can spread bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella.
2. Fruit Flies
Tiny and often seen near overripe fruit or fermenting organic matter, fruit flies have red eyes and a tan body. They reproduce quickly and are hard to eliminate without targeting both adults and breeding sources.
3. Drain Flies
Also known as moth flies, these small, fuzzy insects are often found near drains, sewage areas, and damp locations. Their larvae feed on organic buildup inside pipes, making sanitation critical for control.
4. Blow Flies
Recognizable by their metallic blue or green coloring, blow flies are larger and often found around decaying animals or garbage. Their presence can indicate a dead animal nearby or serious sanitation issues.
5. Cluster Flies
These flies are similar in appearance to house flies but slower. They often enter homes in the fall to overwinter in attics or wall voids and cluster near windows on sunny winter days.
6. Flesh Flies
Gray with checkerboard-like patterns on their abdomen, flesh flies are attracted to rotting meat and decaying material. They can be a sign of an animal carcass or open garbage issues.
