Many types of flies invade structures in this region. Most feed on dead or decaying material and, depending on the environment, they can be very difficult to eliminate. The most important step in fly management is the proper identification of the fly and their nesting sites. Since most flies have very short life spans, their goal is to lay as many eggs as they can before they die. Our primary focus is on interrupting the life cycle. Once this cycle has been interrupted, our service professionals can present some helpful tips on preventing re-infestations.

Size: ranging from 6 to 14 mm in length and generally having a metallic sheen to their bodies.

Size: About 5/16 inch long

Feeding & Habits: Feed on earthworm matter in lawns and ground cover. Adults of the last generation of the year become numerous during the latter days of September to mid-October. As cold weather progresses, adults seek protected places to spend the winter. In many cases, this is within walls, attics, storage rooms, and basements of houses. Screens offer no protection since these flies prefer to crawl in through small openings elsewhere around the building. For this reason they are extremely difficult to keep out of houses. Isolated houses in the country are especially prone to invasion, since they offer the only warm shelter for miles around.
