Fly Control New Zealand

Flies don’t attack you. However, they are harmful to your health because of their ability to carry and spread various diseases. If you have observed many flies on your property, you know it is time to call an expert.

Flies are attracted to organic matter, decaying vegetables, and stagnant water. Even the aroma of dishes you are cooking can attract flies from up to 50 meters. Depending on the wind flow, flies may travel several kilometres. Flies are these annoying pests that are present almost everywhere.

At Tom’s Pest Control New Zealand, we offer customised fly removal solutions that are carried out carefully using state-of-the-art, efficient, safe, and safe application methods. While flies may not harm you or your family directly, removing them from your property as soon as possible is essential to avoid the transmission of diseases through them.

Common Fly Species In New Zealand

House Fly: This is the most common fly found in many properties. This fly type is attracted to light sources found on uncovered food left on the table or kitchen countertop. Another thing that draws these flies to your home is the food odour.

Lesser House Fly: This is another type of house fly spotted in many residential and commercial properties. Small in size, these flies fly endlessly in circles, usually right in the centre of the room or below the ceiling lights. These flies don’t sit on humans, but their presence is irritating since they are flying around you.

Blow Fly: Blow Fly is a species spotted in many areas. These flies are noisy and are usually spotted near light sources. They are big and have huge eyes. They typically don’t enter a property in large numbers. However, if they do, this indicates the presence of a rotting carcass like that of a rat. Because of the size and metabolism of these flies, controlling them with residual insecticide treatments becomes difficult.

Common Fly Control Methods

One of the most effective ways to control flies is using fly screens. These serve as an obstruction but are expensive to control flies entering your home. However, this method is effective in areas where the fly issue has been prevailing for a long.

A residual insecticide is another fly control method used to treat flies in New Zealand. This method involves spraying the insecticide on surfaces where the flies usually rest. Residual insecticide may last throughout the season and is highly safe for indoor air quality.

The use of insecticide dispersing machines is growing with each passing day to control the fly population effectively. These machines are ideal for being used in commercial properties like safes, stores, and restaurants. The treatment involves releasing insecticide in the air for a few minutes to discourage flies from attacking that particular area. The active ingredient of these insecticides is organic pyrethrums and synthetic pyrethroids.

UV Light Traps are another effective way of fly control. These traps attract flies just like Zapper traps. However, flies are isolated in a sticky cardboard trap.

FAQs

Fly problems can be solved. However, you might not be able to eliminate specific fly infestations. You might need to consult a professional if you have multiple infestations or your fly population is rapidly growing.

Tom’s Pest Control New Zealand sends trained professionals to inspect your home and identify potential nesting areas. You also get protection against pests that can spread disease, damage your house, or cause havoc elsewhere in your home.

What are the signs and symptoms of a fly infestation?

They can detect houseflies’ infestations. Lapteric larvae emerge from the nests of their pupae as Lapteric Larvae. Some people can hear buzzing from houseflies.

House flies buzz because their wings beat in unison. The thorax of a housefly is grey with four stripes. A housefly adult measures 1-8/8″ and one inch or 4-7 micrometres.

Their bodies are slightly hairy and have only one fixed wing. These animals have thousands to thousands of tiny lenses in their compound red eyes. This allows them to see clearly. Therefore, female houseflies are more valuable than their male counterparts. Houseflies do not have fangs or stingers.

What diseases can a fly be exposed to?

Research has shown that flying insects can transmit sixty-five diseases, including cholera. Because they eat little, it is easy to find them.

These are the most prevalent infectious diseases that air travel can easily spread.

Enteric diseases include diarrhoea and cholera.
Parasitic Infections
Two conditions can cause trachoma or Pandemic Conjunctivitis.
Poliomyelitis
Skin infections include cutaneous diphtheria and yaws.

Did you know that a fly can travel up to thirty kilometres to get food? Unfortunately, flying can also allow them to carry dirt and other garbage. This could be a danger to your food. So, protecting your food from these insects is crucial.

Which fly species is the most unique?

We come across many types of fly every day. Their two wings can be used to distinguish them. This is the unique characteristic of Extra Large Diptera Order.

Due to the number of Diptera species (more than 150 000) and the many families, it is not easy to classify all Diptera fly types. However, these are the most widespread.
