Where do flies come from indoors

Housefly is ubiquitous. Insects live in a house, a person’s apartment, eat food waste, crumbs on the table, rotted plants, fruits, vegetables. One of the most important questions is where the flies come from indoors, if the doors are always tightly closed, mosquito nets on the windows. However, there are several more ways that parasites can enter a house or apartment.

Where do flies come from in an apartment

In the house of a man dwells several species of flies. They are similar in appearance, lead a similar lifestyle, so the owner does not even think about their difference. With the onset of heat, apartments are populated house fliesthat are not adapted to live in the wild, biting by the end of summer lighters, at any time during the warm season, a meat fly of gray color or with a beautiful green, in blue low tide.

Flies appear indoors or they are brought by a person without knowing it. Adult individuals crawl through small cracks in the wall, window sills, ventilation shafts. Climb through loosely closed doors, if there are flaws in the mosquito net. And even if the house, apartment is completely hermetic, all precautions are followed, parasites can be in the room.

The person brings them at the stage of eggs, larvae. Females lay eggs on ripe or rotten vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers. Green flies in an apartment, a house appear due to stale meat, fish, because it is there that a new generation of pests begins to develop.

In the winter in a warm room flies may appear in the house. Their presence at such a time of the year puzzles even more, since there is nowhere to come from. With the onset of cold weather, insects climb into the cracks, fall asleep, remain invisible to humans. On warm winter days, when the sun shines well through the windows, a comfortable temperature is maintained inside the building, they wake up. However, this wakefulness does not last long. Insects are either killed or they are hiding again.

Females lay eggs in rotten houseplants, vegetables, fruits, food waste, and garbage cans. Insects breed in a closed apartment it is not as intense as with open windows, but during the 14 days an invasion of flies can be observed in the room.

Promotes high rates of reproduction comfortable temperature, unsanitary conditions. Garbage that is not thrown away for weeks, a bucket of wastes, boxes where unwashed vegetables with particles of soil are stored, unwashed dishes, an uncleaned table.

One female lays up to 150 eggs per day. The laying is repeated every 2 days. In a week, the female establishes a whole colony. Under favorable development conditions, the next day a maggot appears - maggot.

The size of the white worm does not exceed 1 mm, so it often goes unnoticed. Every day increases in size, after about 10 days of its existence, pupates. After 3 days, an adult is selected from the pupa, ready for fertilization. In this way, in a closed apartment in 2 weeks there are many flies.

On a note!

If you leave a piece of meat for a week or two, or fish, a new generation of parasites will appear, under other circumstances they die without going through a full development cycle. Only a housefly is capable of starting up indoors.
