Flies Carry Filth. We Carry Solutions.

Filth flies — house flies, blow flies, and flesh flies — are mechanical disease vectors of extraordinary efficiency. A single house fly can carry over 2 million bacteria on its body surfaces and transfer pathogens to every surface it lands on. Flies feed by regurgitating digestive enzymes onto food and then sponging up the liquefied remains — meaning every landing deposits bacteria, enzymes, and whatever the fly previously fed on. This mechanism makes them public health threats, not just nuisances, particularly in food service and healthcare environments. They carry over 65 diseases including salmonella, E. coli, and cholera.

The flies life cycle is among the fastest in the insect world, which is why infestations seem to appear overnight. A female house fly lays 100-150 eggs per batch on moist organic matter — garbage, pet waste, compost, carrion — and can produce 5-6 batches in her lifetime. Eggs hatch into larvae within 12-24 hours in warm conditions. Larvae feed for 4-7 days, pupate for 3-6 days, then emerge as adults ready to mate within 24 hours. A single pair of Flies can produce over 1 million offspring in just 6-8 weeks under optimal conditions.

Professional flies management integrates sanitation, exclusion, and population control into a unified strategy. Exterior bait stations target adult Flies at the source — dumpster areas, loading docks, and waste storage. UV light traps provide 24/7 indoor monitoring and capture. Air curtains and strip doors prevent fly entry through open doorways. Critically, professional programs include breeding source elimination — treating the hidden organic accumulations under equipment, in drain lines, and in trash rooms that sustain flies populations week after week.
