While the fall months bring reprieve from high temperatures, they also bring with them some pesky bugs trying to make their way into your home. Not left out of the fun is the house fly. These flies will come in troves during the fall months, and can be more than irritating when they are constantly buzzing around your head. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control is here to talk about how you can battle the house fly this fall while still enjoying the fresh air that fall brings with it.
Proper Sanitation is Great Fly Prevention
Flies are often times attracted to filthy things. They are looking for their next meal and don’t care if the food is rotted. They probably actually prefer food that has been sitting out for a while. If you really want to get rid of flies this fall, up your sanitation game. Flies don’t just feed off of unsanitary conditions, they will also be going there to breed. Here are some sanitation tips that will help you keep flies out of your home this fall.
– Keep a lid on your trash can and take it out regularly to avoid rotting foods in your home.
– If there is food on your counter, keep it covered at all times.
– When spills happen, clean them up quickly.
– Keep the areas where your pets eat and any cat litter bins clean.
– If you have areas in your home that have dripping faucets or slow leaking pipes, fix them to avoid excessive moisture.
