house flies in nashville tn
One of the most common pests found in Georgia homes is the house fly. Many Atlanta homeowners come to us to learn how to get rid of house flies, for good.
House flies are gray insects that are about ¼ of an inch in length. They have four distinct black vertical lines on the top of their body. House flies need a water source because they constantly salivate; they use their saliva to liquefy solid foods because they are only able to ingest liquids.
House flies are not capable of biting, however, they can spread as many as 65 dangerous diseases to humans. House flies land and feed on materials in garbage dumps and sewers as well as animal excrement. When they land on food to feed, they will defecate on the food; it is as if they were specifically designed to transmit bacteria and disease.
You may have garbage cans or other debris outside of your home where the flies are breeding and feeding on. You will find that the house flies will then make their way into your home from the outside, looking for other food sources.
