These insects are carriers of food-borne diseases, among others. But they can expose us to more severe health hazards too such as Typhoid, Dysentery and Diarrhea. Once a fly lands on food or whatever they consider as food that may be unimaginable to humans, they leave enzymes to make it soft for them.
These insects cannot chew food and vomiting on food will dissolve it and make it easier to take in. They also leave particles from the previous item they landed on transmitting bacteria and viruses. Worst, they defecate on food after they have eaten.
It is best to keep flies away from your table or better yet, keep them away from your home. We have gathered the best fly traps with various applications so you can use them in different areas of your home and keep it fly-free.
