Dangers of Flies for Our Health

No stranger to this one creature. They are everywhere even so close to us.

Here are some types of fly species:

• House Fly

• Flash Fly

• Blue Bottle Flies

• Green Bottle Flies

• Fruit Flies

• Phorid Flies

• Moth Flies

Flies have a life cycle of about 8-10 days starting from larvae to complete form.

Flies are very attracted to CO2, ammonia, and perishable organic matter.

Flies are able to lay 100-150 eggs on surfaces such as food, furniture, and so on.

Flies must be controlled because they can have bad health impacts such as:

1. Estamoeba dysenteriae/ Entamorba hestolyca.

2. Kala-azhar disease is a disease caused by the group of protozoa namely Laishmania donovani.

3. Sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma gambiense.

But how to control fly pests as follows:

• Place plants that flies don't like like basil, lavender, lemongrass, etc.

• Dispose of Garbage Regularly

• Use Scented/Essential Oil

• Make your own homemade fly repellent spray (vinegar/clothing deodorizer/etc)

Don't make your home or work environment a breeding ground for flies or investment in flies.
