Food Sources: Flies love anything edible: ripe fruit, crumbs, spilled drinks, or even pet food. Garbage cans, especially with uncovered trash or rotting food, are fly magnets. Check your kitchen, pantry, and bins for anything they might be feasting on.
Entry Points: Open windows, doors, or tiny gaps in screens let flies sneak in. They’re small and quick, so even a brief moment with an open door can invite them. Inspect screens for tears and seal cracks around windows or doors.
Moisture and Decay: Flies breed in damp, organic material like overwatered plant soil, clogged drains, or rotting produce. Houseplants, leaky pipes, or even a forgotten damp mop can be breeding grounds.
Warm Weather: Flies are more active and reproduce faster in warmer climates. They thrive in temperatures above 70°F, so summer spikes their numbers
Nearby Breeding Sites: If you’ve got a compost pile, animal waste, or garbage outside, flies might be breeding there and migrating indoors.

Typical house flies live from anywhere from 1 week to 30 days depending on the conditions.
Fruit Flies usually live 30-40 days but can live as long as 60 days with plenty of resources (fruit, water, warmth)
Flies go through a complete life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult) in as little as 7-10 days for houseflies or 4-6 days for fruit flies under optimal conditions, so new generations can keep infestations going if breeding sites aren’t addressed.
These are two of the most common types of flies that make it into the home and are most likely what is buzzing around your kitchen right now.
Waiting for the flies to die off could lead to an infestation if you are not careful. Its best to contact a professional if the amount of flies start to become overwhelming.

Eliminate Food Sources: Flies love anything edible: ripe fruit, crumbs, spilled drinks, or even pet food. Garbage cans, especially with uncovered trash or rotting food, are fly magnets. Check your kitchen, pantry, and bins for anything they might be feasting on.
Destroy Breeding Sites
Look for breeding spots like pet waste, spilled food, or garbage.
Impact: Flies need moist, organic material to lay eggs. Removing these stops new flies from emerging (eggs hatch in 12-24 hours, and larvae need 3-5 days to mature).
Block Entry Points
Seal cracks around windows, doors, or vents. Repair torn window screens and keep doors closed when possible.
Use a fan near entryways—flies struggle to fly in strong airflow.
Set Traps to Kill Adults
Use sticky traps or a commercial fly trap near high-traffic areas (avoid zapper traps indoors, as they can spread bacteria).
Clean Relentlessly
Vacuum or sweep regularly to remove crumbs or small debris. Mop floors with a vinegar-water mix to deter flies. A clean home starves flies and prevents egg-laying, forcing them to die faster from lack of resources.

Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) and houseflies (Musca domestica) are typically the most common flies found in homes, but a couple of others can also show up depending on conditions like horse flies, cluster flies, and drain flies.
Seeing a few flies is normal, but a constant presence, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or near garbage signals an infestation. Signs include clusters of flies, maggots in trash or drains, or a persistent buzz. We inspect your property to confirm the problem and target breeding sites to prevent more flies from emerging.
Yes, flies can carry bacteria and pathogens from unsanitary surfaces like garbage or waste. Houseflies may spread diseases like E. coli or salmonella, while fruit flies can contaminate food.
Quick relief starts with removing food and breeding sources (like rotting fruit or organic buildup in drains) and setting traps (e.g., vinegar traps for fruit flies or sticky traps for houseflies
Seal entry points like gaps in windows or torn screens, store food in sealed containers, and keep trash bins tightly covered. Regular cleaning and proper waste management are key. We provide tailored prevention tips and follow-up visits to ensure your property stays fly-free year-round.
