The Health Threats Flies Pose
A quick cursory search on Google will inform you of some hard truths: flies are one of the pests most capable of spreading disease. Mosquitoes have been the largest killer of humans throughout history. My guess is that flies would be next.
House flies alone can transmit 65 diseases. Among these are colds and flus, COVID, stomach flus, as well as long-term illnesses and disease that takes a long time to get over.
Flies regurgitate anything they land on, and, well, they are attracted to waste, garbage, dead animals, etc. It is no wonder they spread disease.
Flies can come in from the outside, from shipments, from one fly laying eggs in some old food or drains, etc. Flies are a disruption and have negative perception (and rightly so) because they carry and spread illness and disease causing pathogens everywhere they go.

Best Interior & Exterior Black Fly Control for Homes
Most folks know what a fly looks like, with their black bodies, their recognizable compound eyes, the shape of their wings.
Flies can get into your home by a number of ways. One may be flying nearby and come in through an open window or door. One may spot some dog poop, garbage, or a dead animal like a mouse and lay eggs on it.
It doesn’t take much to get flies. As you can tell from the photo above, those maggots were hatched from fly eggs right next to their food source: a dead mouse).
All it takes is a tiny crack a couple of millimeters thick for a maggot to squeeze through. They like the dark of wall voids to molt into flies. Then, they would come into your living area, and you think where the heck did all these flies come from?!

Phorid flies are funny-looking flies. They have humpbacked or stubby-nosed bodies. Phorid flies are similar to fruit flies, in that they are attracted to decaying organic matter. Examples of decaying organic matter is rotting fruits or vegetables, animal carcasses, and garbage. But, phorid flies can also infest compost piles, sewage systems, drains, and even mushrooms!

Simple Drain Fly Control Success for Homes
Drain flies can also be called moth flies, since they look like a cross between a fly and a moth. These drain flies are fly shaped, but furry like a moth. They range in color from gray to black, but can be tan, depending on the species.
Drain flies are most commonly associated with drains, grease traps, and sub-slab drain leaks. Whenever there are sub-slab drain leaks or an alternative source like a storm water pond or a water retention pond, it can be nearly impossible to treat the source of these pests if the HOA or other governing body inhibits treatment.
For any drain pest, like drain flies or moth flies, a drain treatment is needed. The drain treatment should be nontoxic and noncorrosive, eliminating odors and consuming the biofilms and organic buildup in drains, according to Pest Control Technology.
It could take homeowners a while to combat the source of drain flies. Skip the line and hire Done Right Pest Solutions instead!

Fast Fruit Fly Control Solutions for Homes
Fruit flies, like drain flies, often breed in drains and grease traps. Fruit flies are attracted to organic decaying matter. We give 6 simple tips to eliminate and prevent fruit flies in our article.
Fruit flies are attracted to produce, damp areas, dirty dishes, drains, garbage disposals, and other locations where there is decaying organic material. If the problem is decaying fruits or vegetables, dispose of them. If the problem is damp areas, keep them dry. It is important to fix leaks so pests, mold, mildew, and damage doesn’t spread. If the issue is dirty dishes, clean them up. If the issue is drains, hire a plumber or handyman. If the issue is garbage disposals, try cleaning them or tossing down a lemon and grinding them up.
Oftentimes the solution is removing the source and killing off the alive adults. The why of the fly is typically because there is a food source, which is often the same as a breeding source.

Pro tip: Fungus gnats are common fruit fly look-a-likes, but their breeding patterns and harborage locations are very different.

Clean out the water catch traps of your plant pot and that should solve your fungus gnat issue without costing you any money on pest control!
