Fly Repellent Tips: Eliminate flies during the hot season with a foolproof method that doesn’t involve water bottles.
Tired of Flies in the Hot Season? No matter how clean we keep our homes, flies always find a way to invade, especially during the hot season. If you’ve tried everything, here’s a method to get rid of flies without using water bottles.
Why Are Flies More Prevalent in the Hot Season? Flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches are undesirable insects in our homes. They not only transmit diseases but also land on dirt and contaminated surfaces. Flies are cold-blooded and activated by heat, reproducing rapidly as temperatures rise. They feed on rotting food, and high temperatures facilitate food spoilage, attracting more flies. Increased ambient humidity also creates the perfect environment for flies to proliferate.
Fly Reproduction in the Hot Season: Flies can lay hundreds of eggs during their lives, especially in hot conditions. A single fly can lay up to 500 eggs in batches of 75 to 150, which can hatch in eight hours to three days.
Diseases Transmitted by Flies: Flies can carry over a million bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. They transmit diseases like cholera, dysentery, salmonellosis, Legionnaires’ disease, and conjunctivitis by contaminating surfaces and food through vomiting or excretion.
