Fly Behavior
Flies live nearly everywhere people do, and they adapt to almost any setting, from barns to restaurant kitchens. That flexibility is what makes them a problem. They travel freely between filth and food, and they bring germs along when they slip inside through an open door or a torn screen.
Instead of living in colonies, flies go wherever the food is. They gather around garbage, manure, compost and anything rotting, where adults feed on liquids and females lay eggs. A house fly has a single pair of clear wings, and females are a little larger than males. Adults usually live two to four weeks, and longer in cool weather.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flies
Why are there so many flies in my house?
Flies are usually breeding nearby, in garbage, pet waste, compost, drains or rotting produce. Killing adults will not stop them until the breeding source is found and removed.
What are the small flies around my sink?
Small fuzzy flies near sinks and showers are usually drain flies, which breed in the buildup inside drains. Tan flies with red eyes near fruit or trash are fruit flies.
Can flies spread disease?
House flies land on garbage and waste and then on food and counters, so they can carry bacteria that cause food poisoning. That is why fly control matters so much in kitchens and restaurants.
