Troublesome Presence Of Flies In Your Home: Common Issues And Risks

Flies pick up pathogens while they live, breed, and feed on decaying matter, including garbage and feces. When they enter your home, flies in the kitchen can spread these disease organisms onto your food and surfaces. Flies can lay hundreds of eggs in their short lifetimes, which become reproductive adults quickly, in some cases, in less than a week.

The best way to avoid a severe infestation is to contact the pros at the first signs of fly activity.
