Flies Control

Flies can be a nuisance when buzzing around your premise, particularly if in large numbers. However, some species of fly also pose health risks to humans. House flies transmit a wide range of diseases including salmonella, dysentery, tuberculosis, cholera and parasitic worms. In India, there is a high risk of disease transmission through flies. During emergency situations, when hygiene conditions are less than optimal, flies often are the main reason for cholera and dysentery epidemics. But even under normal conditions, children and elderly are at a greater risk of conducting more common diseases such as salmonella food poisoning from fly contaminated food.

Flies can be vacuumed off the surfaces on which they are hibernating; in areas inaccessible to vacuuming, a residual insecticide such as a pyrethroid can be applied. For application of residual insecticides, contact a reputable pest control company.Picaridin and DEET are the most commonly used chemical fly repellents, but picaridin is more popular across the international community. This chemical is a comparable alternative to DEET in just about every category and even seems to last for a longer time.Cayenne pepper is an excellent natural fly repellent and also deters many other insects. Mix one cup of water and one teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a misting bottle and spray it near entryways and wherever you see flies. Other natural fly repellents include lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus, camphor, and cinnamon.One of the most overlooked causes of a fly infestation outside the house is dog droppings. Dog owners often don't worry about picking up their dog's droppings in their own yard. Of course, it's also possible that other dogs in the neighborhood are doing that in your yard, and their owners just aren't picking it up.
