How to get rid of flies?

Flies are attracted to food and garbage, so make sure to keep your kitchen clean and free from crumbs and food scraps. Take out the trash regularly and keep it sealed tightly. 

Use fly traps: 

There are many different types of fly traps available, including sticky traps, electronic traps, and baited traps. These can be effective in trapping and killing flies. 

Use natural repellents: 

Certain herbs and essential oils, such as basil, mint, and eucalyptus, so can repel flies. You can place these herbs in bowls around your home or use essential oil diffusers. 

Seal off entry points: 

Flies can enter your home through small cracks and crevices. Seal off any potential entry points, such as windows and doors, to prevent flies from entering your home. 

Use a fan: 

Flies are weak fliers and a fan can help to keep them away. Keep a fan running in the room where you are spending most of your time, or use a portable fan to direct a breeze at the flies. 

Professional extermination: 

If all else fails, hire a professional exterminator to get rid of the flies in your home. They will be able to identify the source of the problem and eliminate it effectively.

Also remember that flies are attracted to moisture and filth, so it’s important to keep your home clean and dry to prevent them from breeding.

How long do houseflies live?

The lifespan of a housefly can vary depending on several factors such as temperature, humidity, and access to food. On average, a housefly lives for about 20 to 50 days. Adult houseflies typically spend the first 10 days of their lives mating and laying eggs, and the remaining time is spent searching for food and seeking shelter. Although, in ideal conditions, with ample food and a warm environment, the housefly’s lifespan may be extended, but with less favorable conditions, the lifespan may be shorter.
