Flies are an unavoidable nuisance and pose a potential threat to health risk in most home. Thus, having these unwanted guesses hang around your home will surely be a huge concern for homeowners.
What are flies attracted to? There are several reasons why this filthy-flying pest is attracted to invading your home.
1. Heat
Flies are attracted to buildings by the heat that they radiate. Flies will breed faster in environments that are warm.
2. Light
Flies are more commonly seen hovering near lights as they are attracted to lights. Scientifically known as positive phototaxis, these pests have a positive response to lights.
3. Garbage
Flies are commonly associated with garbage. Garbage provides flies with an ideal breeding habitat, especially in the warm months when food items ferment quickly. It is recommended to remove your garbage at least twice a week, regularly clean your garbage bags and place all waste in bags.
4. Dirty drains
Problems with flies indoors commonly begin with drains that have built up organic material. It is important to regularly clean your drains to decrease the possibility of a fly problem.
5. Rotten food scraps
Flies are known to be attracted to damage food or products, they can even breed in produce that is rotten.
