FLIES CONTROL
Flies particularly are one of the most dangerous kinds of insect since they carry bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms from filthy places to our food. Flies are the carriers of diseases like cholera, dysentery, typhoid and other food-borne diseases. Flies are the filthy transmitters of disease because they have the habit of regurgitating food from their gut as they feed, and excreting faecal pellets on the food. The odor of decaying organic matter attracts flies the most.
How to Control
- It is important to remove garbage, faeces and other animal matters regularly.
- Always dispose such materials tied in a plastic bag.
- If manures are to be used as fertilizers they must be stored in tied bags and kept dry. Manure left exposed in open is the favourite ground for flies breeding. Therefore always cover manure with a layer of earth or soil.
- Fix fly scree to your windows to prevent the entry of flies to your home.
- Use aerosol insecticide to kill adult flies. Although aerosol must be strictly kept out of kitchens, restaurants and F&B outlets. Instead you can use fly bait consisting of syrup or food mixed with insecticides is more suitable.
Are Flies Dangerous.?
The mechanics of how flies spread disease isn�t pretty. They frequent areas where they can find rotting garbage and human or animal waste, and then carry germs from those areas to the food we eat. Flies actually vomit and leave excrement on what they eat so between what they carry on their bodies and what they leave behind from within their bodies, taking necessary precautions to keep flies out of your home and food is well worth the effort..
