2. Flies are more than just a
nuisance for many people. More
than 100 different pathogens
have been associated with
various types of flies, so keeping
them out of your office is a must.
Unlike many other
pests, though, you’re likely not just
dealing with one potential
problem, but many. Just exactly
how many kinds of flies are there?

3. One Name, 16,000 Species
Scientifically speaking, flies
belong to the order
Dipteria, which translates to two
wings. As such, lots of different
pests belong in this
order, somewhere around
16,000 at last count, and that’s
just in North America. How
many of those, though, can you
actually expect in your office?
4. Four Big
Pests
While you could probably see a number of different
kinds of flies in your office or around your home during
the warmer months, most pest control professionals
report they get four main kinds of calls: fruit files, drain
flies, bottle flies, and house flies.
5. Fruit Flies
Almost everyone has dealt with the
tiny fruit fly at some point in time. Just
3 millimeters in length, it’s rare to see
these little pests by themselves. You
usually see them in fairly large groups.
They can be found in any spot where
you might have fruit or veggies that
got too ripe. They can also be found
in your drain or garbage disposal. Like
all of their other buddies, they can
contaminate your food in a hurry, so
your best bet is to get rid of them at
first sight.
6. Drain Flies
These are as tiny as their buddies, the fruit flies.
Unlike fruit flies, though, once crushed, they leave a
powdery residue behind. They set up breeding sites
in damp places, like near floor or other kinds of
drains. Most people try to eliminate them with
bleach and hot water, but that’s typically not
enough to get rid of these pests.
7. Bottle Flies
These are sometimes called
blow flies. They tend to be fairly
larger, and they make a loud
buzzing sound when they fly.
While you’re more likely to
encounter them outside, if you
do see them in your house, it’s
because they’re trying to
establish a breeding site, so
contacting professional help
immediately is your best bet.
8. House Flies
People have been dealing with house flies for as
long as they’ve had houses, and while one isn’t a
huge problem, if you start seeing several of them in
your home or office, you’re going to want some
help. They’ve been known to cause a number of
different diseases in people including typhoid and
cholera.
