Keep Flies Outside this Summer

Warm summer months bring family get-togethers, vacations and many great memories. Unfortunately, it can also be a time when flies become very prevalent. Once flies get into your home, it can be very difficult to get rid of the annoying pests. Thankfully exterminators in Harford County, like Raven Termite and Pest Control, are here to help. The following guide walks you through a few things you should know about flies and how to prevent them from swarming around in your home.

Preventing a Fly Infestation

Getting rid of flies can be difficult because their lifespan is so short. After eggs are laid, they begin hatching in less than one day. After hatching, the maggots begin to develop into flies, shedding their skin along the way. In less than a week the maggots can turn into flies and start wreaking havoc on your house.
If you want to minimize the flies that are in your home, the first thing you need to do is get rid of their breeding grounds. If they don’t breed, they won’t lay eggs that eventually grow into flies. The most common breeding ground for flies is trashcans. Take trash out often and remember to regularly rinse out your trashcans to reduce the likelihood of a fly infestation.
