Cluster Fly

Well hello everyone! It's been a busy time with the Holidays taking over but I'm back to do a post about the infamous Cluster Fly.

Ahh, yes. These flies are just precious. As a whole, Cluster Flies are not necessarily dangerous pests (ie: these are not like the common house fly that can spread disease). On one hand, they are just an annoyance. They fly around pretty lazily compared to a normal fly: they will randomly hit in to people or other objects because they aren't paying attention or perhaps they just don't care.

Who knows really?

But anyway, the issue occurs when the insects start to die and are not easily found; this is most usually because the flies like to "cluster" together in the attic during the winter. The flies die, are not found, and then will start attracting various other types of pests that are more dangerous.... such as beetles and rodents. That is not good!

Cluster Flies will enter your home or business through the smallest cracks and crevices you've ever seen. They then lazily fly about your house until they find a warm spot to "cluster" together and hang out for the rest of the cold months. In order to prevent them, as usual, make sure that there are no cracks or crevices outside your home that they can wiggle through. Also, you should NOT use a fly swatter on these annoying flies; when squished, they will leave a foul odor and cause a greasy stain. If you suspect an infestation of Cluster Flies, call your local pest control company for assistance!
