There are more than 100,000 different species of fly across the world, all of which are incredibly advanced in evolutionary terms. They are often seen as dirty insects with distasteful habits, which is mostly true of many of the species closely associated with humans.
Adult flies are around 6mm long with a single pair of wings and large reddish eyes. The abdomen is bristly and yellowish and lack in colour. Similar in size to house flies.
Female flies lay eggs on damp soil beneath rotting leaves and after about a week large hatch and seek out earthworms.
Larvae are like those of other flies and are typical shaped maggots, these however are parasites of earthworms where they feed on the worm whilst itโs still alive. Once the worm has died the maggot burrows out into the soil to pupate.
No effective control is possible during summer months but once inside for hibernation the flies can be treated in a variety of ways dependent on their location.
Our technicians will do a survey to determine the location of the flies and treat as appropriate with an insecticide wipe of window shuts and an insecticide fog of loft if no evidence of bats is found on inspection of the loft.
It is possible that the treatment may need to be carried out several times if there are warm spells in winter which wake the flies from hibernation. Normally one visit in early winter is sufficient.
It is not possible to prevent them entering loft voids and window frames.
