Pittsburgh House Fly Control Exterminator
Mankind’s curse and tormentors! When referencing anything gross in culture, typically you will find flies associated with that certain something. Why is that? Does the fly have some kind of bum rap? Nope! As one of the most highly effective vectors of disease transmission, flies have a right to be disliked. Have trash? They’ll take it. Old rotting meat? Sounds great! What about animal poop? They LOVE it.
How did I get these things? You’ve got something they want – a nursery. Rather than a quiet suburb of a major city, the house fly’s picturesque delivery ward is either that pile of fish heads you placed in the trash, a freshly installed dog poop castle or (and this one even grosses us out) that dead raccoon on the edge of the road. Flies need some kind of organic material to deposit their young in, as maggots can only survive on this type of material.
What can I do to help? Make sure that areas of your home are not going to provide harborage for flies. Clean garbage cans, make sure poop is scooped immediately, and if you’ve caught wind of a funny scent inside your home that you can’t place (i.e., something dead), contact a professional to have it checked out. But even more important, our experienced technicians will be able to inform you of potential breeding sites (inside and out) that you might not even be aware of.
Is there any way to get rid of them? While the initial reaction may be to handle it on your own, think of it this way: if your fly problem has been around for 2 days, maggots will usually hatch in about 7 ½ hours after being laid. That means your problem is about to double in size. So before the problem gets out of hand call us here at Budget Pest Control, Inc to speak about our House Fly Control.
