How to kill and control flies
Flies are a big problem in the US. Some bite, others are scavengers, and many can transmit disease or cause allergic reactions. There are many families and species of the two winged fly (Diptera) and exact identification of flies can be difficult.

However, most flies are easily controlled. Only certain small flies breed indoors but many types of flies are attracted inside which are an annoyance, but more importantly, raises health concerns. The main things that bring flies indoors are:

- The search for food
- Light sources
To combat fly problems, you must eliminate the source of the infestation as well as the adult flies. This can be done in 3 Steps.
