Flies can be extremely irritating pests. If left untreated, infestations can turn serious within a few days. Flies pose a significant threat to the health of humans, pets, and livestock, by spoiling food, spreading contaminants, and causing allergic reactions. Flies are known to infest homes, businesses, and other structures where they can spread diseases like Salmonella and E. Coli.
There are two types of flies that most commonly cause infestations in Australian homes: the House Fly and the Fruit Fly. Being able to differentiate between these irritating pests will assist with determining what may be causing an infestation.
