Observation
Remotus is quick to spot these buzzing pests. House flies are small, grayish-black insects with large red eyes and transparent wings. They are most often found around garbage, decaying organic matter, and food, and are notorious for their rapid flight and constant buzzing. Remotus advises you to watch for them near open windows, trash bins, and uncovered food, as they are drawn to these areas in search of food and breeding sites.
Outlook
Remotus understands the health risks these pests can bring. House flies are not just a nuisance; they are known to spread a variety of diseases by contaminating food and surfaces with the bacteria and pathogens they carry. Their presence can indicate poor sanitation and can lead to foodborne illnesses if not properly managed. Remotus stresses the importance of keeping your home clean and taking steps to prevent flies from entering and spreading disease. Treatment typically takes a few days to a week, involving traps, fly paper, and insecticide applications to control their population.
Gateways
Remotus knows how they get inside. House flies typically enter homes through open doors, windows, or gaps in screens, especially in warmer months. They are attracted to food, garbage, and decaying organic matter, which they use as breeding sites. Remotus recommends keeping doors and windows closed or screened, promptly disposing of garbage, and storing food properly to keep these pests out of your home.
