Flies can be a nuisance when buzzing around your premise, particularly if in large numbers. However, some species of fly also pose health risks to humans. House flies transmit a wide range of diseases including salmonella, dysentery, tuberculosis, cholera and parasitic worms. In India, there is a high risk of disease transmission through flies. During emergency situations, when hygiene conditions are less than optimal, flies often are the main reason for cholera and dysentery epidemics. But even under normal conditions, children and elderly are at a greater risk of conducting more common diseases such as salmonella food poisoning from fly contaminated food.

Flies spread diseases because of their breeding and feeding habits. Bacteria from where the fly usually feed on would get stuck on their mouth parts and footpads eventually spreading onto places they land on. Imagine if it’s exposed food that you are about to eat.
Flies Pest Control by Treatment
Flies Pest Control is a multi-step process. An exterminator arrives at your home for a detailed inspection, followed by a consultation that includes an estimated treatment price.

Fly Baits
Fly baits use common attractants to kill flies instantly. The bait’s ingredients include pheromones, bright colors, and an alluring scent to attract flies. Commercial-grade fly baits should only be handled by a Flies Pest Control. The baits contain powerful agents that could harm humans or pets if not applied properly. The cost for professional Flies Pest Control treatment is around.
Fly Traps
Commercial fly traps are more effective than DIY types. A professional uses several types of fly traps. One type attracts flies with UV light before giving them a fatal shock. Another type features a gallon bucket with bait found inside. The flies can get into the bucket but are unable to escape. On average, expect for fly traps set by a professional.
Fly Insecticide
Fly insecticides are also referred to as fly pesticides. The insecticides are applied as a spray, foam, or granules to the impacted area of the home or yard. Commercial products require that family members leave for several hours during treatment. The fly pesticides eliminate live flies and any eggs. Flies Pest Control treatment for a three-bedroom home.
Chemical Fly Control
Chemical fly control features a more widespread application of insecticides. A common part of chemical fly control is fogging several areas where insect populations have invaded. Industrial foggers are used to apply an aerosol to a closed off area of the home. Fogger chemical treatment from a professional for three rooms of a home.
How to Stop Flies
Stopping flies getting into your property is never easy. If a small fly problem is left uncontrolled, it has the potential to turn into a serious fly infestation. Some fly species are able to mature from eggs to adults in just seven days. There are simple ways you can identify the signs of a fly infestation and reduce the need for fly control. Taking a proactive approach to get rid of flies will also help you avoid more costly treatments to eliminate flies if an infestation becomes more serious.
How to Control
- Sanitation is the most effective and important step in reducing pest numbers.
- Dry and wrap organic waste before placing it in the garbage can.
- Seal garbage cans with tight fitting lids.
- Screen windows and doors to keep flying pests out.
- Use indoor traps or sticky tape to manage pests inside the house.
- Hang The Big Stinky or other pesticide-free traps outdoors near problem areas — barns, kennels, garbage bins — to capture nuisance flies by the thousands.
- Follow proper manure management practices to reduce populations in animal facilities such as stables and kennels.
- Fly parasites are small, harmless (to humans and animals) beneficial insects that nature has programmed to attack and kill filth flies when in its immature pupal stage. For best results, release 500 parasites per large animal (horse, cow, etc.) or 5 parasites per cubic foot (manure or compost pile).
- Organic diatomaceous earth is a mild abrasive that works within 48 hours of contact to kill soft-bodied maggots. May also be applied to moist areas where its sorptive qualities effectively reduce breeding sites.
- Least-toxic botanical insecticides should be used as a last resort. Derived from plants which have insecticidal properties, these natural pesticides have fewer harmful side effects than synthetic chemicals and break down more quickly in the environment.
