FLY TREATMENT SYDNEY
Flies are common in Australia, and they can be a great nuisance. People are under the assumption that flies don’t cause much harm, and many ignore small infestations like they mean nothing. Unfortunately, flies can breed quickly so a small infestation can become a large and serious problem in a matter of days.

Seeing Flies Everyday
As mentioned before, just a couple of flies occasionally, aren’t a cause for concern. However, if you see several flies every day, it means you have an infestation and should call a professional to assist you promptly. If you see many flies by the waste bins, guttering, or any waterlogged areas, you’ll experience a massive infestation in the future because the flies are breeding.

COMMON FLIES in sydney
BLOWFLY
APPEARANCE
Blowflies are metallic blue, green or black and are noisy in flight. They are larger than houseflies at 8-10mm but resemble them in habits.
LIFESTYLE
Blowflies thrive in weather that is warm and humid. They don’t do well in extreme conditions with wind, extreme dry heat or very cold weather. The female blow fly has to consume some protein before she can mate, whereas the male blow fly is sexually mature when it’s born. The eggs are usually laid in openings of a cadaver or wounds. The larvae then feed on the decaying material. It then takes 24-48 hours for the eggs to hatch. With up to 300 eggs deposited each breeding cycle, it’s important to get a blowfly infestation under control quickly.
HABITS
The Blowfly can be found near any type of fresh meat or roadkill. The meat of dead animals is essential for their growth from larvae (maggots) to adult, and the female adults lay their eggs on the carcasses of dead animals. Blowflies are also attracted to plants that give off smells resembling rotting meat and are therefore good pollinators. They can also infest the wounds of living animals; this can have a sterilising effect but can also destroy healthy tissue.
FRUIT FLY
APPEARANCE
Very small, oval. 2 – 4mm in length. Tan in appearance with red or dark eyes. Grey underbelly.
LIFESTYLE
Fruit flies lay their eggs near the surface of fermenting foods or other moist, organic materials. The tiny larvae which emerge continue to feed near the surface. They have enormous reproductive potential. Given the opportunity, they will lay around 500 eggs. The entire lifecycle from egg to adult can be completed in about a week. While they are especially attracted to fruits and vegetables, they will also breed in drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cleaning rags. They just need a moist film of fermenting material.
HABITS
In Australia, we have two types of fruit flies: the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (found in WA) and the Queensland Fruit Fly (found in NT, QLD, some parts of NSW, and the eastern corner of VIC). Fruit flies are found around canneries, breweries, wineries, and fruit and vegetable markets/stores. They’re attracted to fruits and vegetables, particularly fermenting materials and fruits/vegetables containing yeast.
HOUSE FLY
APPEARANCE
Grey in colour, approximately 4 -8mm long. The upper body is covered with four dark grey strips. The whole body has hair-like projections.
LIFESTYLE
When indoors, houseflies mostly rest near a human food source, such as on walls, ceiling or floors. Outside they can be found on the ground, on plants or on trash cans. Strong fliers, they can fly up to 8km in a single flight without resting. In warmer climates, they breed throughout the year. In colder climates, breeding usually stops before the winter. A fly only has sucking mouth parts, which means it can only ingest liquid and semi-liquids. When it lands on solid food, it vomits on it to create a solution, which it then sucks and contaminates the food.
HABITS
The housefly is the most widespread and annoying flying indoors pest as they circle around food, attempting to contaminate it with the diseases they carry (e.g. salmonella, hepatitis, cholera, dysentery and poliomyelitis). They are carriers of human diseases at their larvae stage. They feed on manure, food waste, lawn clippings, and decaying vegetable and animal matter.
