Ten Terrible Fly Truths

Flies are a nuisance at the best of times and over these summer months they become more of a pest then ever

. They pop up at every summer occasion, indulge in your food, make your home there own, and it seems that no amount of home fly spray ever will ever combat them. However, I have become aware that despite the fact that flies are a complete nuisance, they are also very interesting creatures. I have put together a set of Ten Terrible Fly Truths' for you all to consider, some of these may surprise you.

1. There are approximately 119,500 known species of flies world wide, nearly 7000 of these species are living here in the UK

2. The average house fly lives for around 30 days and within that month a pair of flies can lay up to 3,000 eggs

3. Houseflies and Blowflies feed off liquids; however, can deal with solids by vomiting on them.

4. All insects have four wings except flies. Most flies have 2 wings and a few species actually have no wings at all.

5. Flies have a sticky glue like substance on the bottom of their feet which helps them stick to surfaces and ceilings.

6. Flies have over 4,000 lenses per eye, which explains their quick reaction time. Despite this, flies have terrible vision only being able to see sharply up to 36 inches away.

7. A fly's favorite color is red. They also like black, green, white, blue, orange, yellow and violet

8. A maggot can turn into a fly within 24 hours and can begin mating within 3 days

9. The way to identify the sex of a fly is by the distance between their eyes. Females have a wider gap then males

10. In just one second a fly can travel 300 times the length of its body

Some of these are pretty amazing right? I was stunned that flies have a favorite color and the speed at which they travel in regards to their body length is astonishing. Despite all this, it is important that we remember flies are a pest and when left untreated can have harmful implications on your friends, family and environment. I suggest you stop that annoying buzz with a pest control method straight away, get rid of flies and avoid an outbreak. The rate at which flies reproduce can see an infestation develop extremely quick and the longer you leave it the harder it becomes to treat. My advice: Act now, avoid red and keep those flies away from your next summer barbeque
