Fly Pest Control
Introduction
The stable fly, house fly and other types of “filth flies” are not only nuisance pests, but also have the potential to harm humans and animals. House flies, for example, can spread diseases such as food poisoning and dysentery. Flies, including stable flies, can inflict painful bites while feeding on the blood of humans and other animals, and some species transmit disease
The habits of filth flies favor the spread of bacteria and disease causing organisms. They typically feed and lay eggs on garbage, manure and carrion, then contaminate human foods and food preparation surfaces by landing on them. When feeding, house flies regurgitate their stomach contents to liquefy it before ingesting it. Their defecatiion and regurgitated material contaminates food and preperations surfaces.
Biology
House Flies (Musca domestica) is the most common and costly fly pest. The life cycle of the housefly can be completed in 10 days during warm weather. In a few more days, an adult fly will emerge to mate and start the next generation. Since each female housefly lays 150–200 eggs, and one pound of manure can contain more than 1,500 maggots, it is important to take steps to break the life cycle.
Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) are similar in appearance and lifestyle to houseflies, with one important distinction—they bite! Like the housefly, the stable fly enjoys a moist, decaying environment. Since this is a blood-feeding fly, its economic impact can be large. Stable fly populations are a serious problem with all equine and dairy barns, can lower milk production by 15 to 30 percent, and seariously impact the health and well being of horses, rabbits, llama's and other stabled animals.
