Why Flies Are A Problem For Pleasanton Homeowners

Several types of flies are likely to invade your Pleasanton home. Keeping an eye out for these species is crucial if you want to engage in treatment that targets them. And if you need help with identifying different kinds of flies, don’t hesitate to reach out to the specialists at Patriot Pest Management for assistance.

If you want to know how to keep flies out of your house , it helps to learn what attracts flies and how this pest enters your Pleasanton home in the first place. Once you understand these factors, you can reduce and alter them to ensure flies stay out.

The most common way for flies to get into your home is through open windows and doors or cracks in windows, doors, and the foundation. These fly entry points are made more enticing if you have factors that attract flies in your homes, such as improper food and trash storage, cluttered areas, or a significant amount of pet waste in your yard that draws flies. Once flies enter your home, they will look for dirty areas or places with spoiled food and open trash to feed and breed, perpetuating the cycle and creating a major fly problem in your home.

It is essential to understand what attracts flies – such as easy access to moisture, organic waste, and rotting food – and remove these from your home to make it a less desirable fly destination. It would help to repair broken windows and door screens and install weather stripping to ensure flies stay outside.

While many people recognize flies as a nuisance, not many people understand how much of a health risk this pest presents. Flies routinely land on trash piles, rotting food, and organic waste (most commonly human and animal feces) to feed and breed. The bacteria they pick up from these areas is transported inside your home when they invade, increasing your risk of acquiring an illness such as food poisoning, cholera, dysentery, or typhoid. 

It is important to keep flies out of your home so that the bacteria and pathogens they carry also stay out, and you can lessen the risk of getting sick from this pest.
