What is the foundation of effective fly control?

The foundation of effective fly control lies in the sanitation of the infested area. Maintaining cleanliness is critical in reducing fly populations, as flies are attracted to decaying organic matter and waste where they breed and feed. Proper sanitation practices involve removing potential breeding sites such as garbage, food residues, or any other organic materials that can support fly development.

When sanitation is prioritized, it not only disrupts the life cycle of flies but also minimizes their attraction to spaces where human activity occurs, providing a more sustainable and long-term solution to fly problems. This approach is often more effective than other methods like baiting, trapping, or spraying insecticides, as those may not address the root cause of the infestation if sanitation practices are inadequate. Without proper sanitation, flies can quickly repopulate and negate the effectiveness of additional control measures.
