Insect light traps (ILT's) are a important non-insecticidal method to control flying insects. ILT's attract flying insects by using Ultra-Violet light. Flying insects are drawn by the Ultra-Violet light and are trapped on adhesive glue panels or electrocuted by electified panels. ILT's work 24 hours a day, 7days a week. ILT's catch a variety of flying insects including; house,fruit and drain flies, bottle flies, yellow jackets, moths and beetles that contaminate food, affect our health, and are irritating. ILT's are the best tool for flying insect control, working 365 days a year.
The common fly is more than just an annoying
pest. It is a carrier of many types of diseases.
The
fly is an enemy because it is one of the biggest disease carriers in
existence.
Moist, warm, decaying material protected by sunlight is favored for fly
eggs to
hatch and in only 8 short hours for fly larvae or maggots to grow. An
uncovered
garbage can is an ideal breeding place. Flies feed and reproduce on
filth,
decaying matter, and water. Flies are transmitters of disease primarily
because
they feed on human and animal wastes. The dangerous bacteria present in
these
wastes stick to the mouth, footpads and hairs of flies and may then be
deposited in feed intended for animal consumption. Fly feces, which
contain
disease-bearing organisms, can also contaminate human food. Flies
defecate
every four to five minutes. And since flies have no teeth and must take
their
nourishment in liquid form, they spit on solid food and let it dissolve
before
consuming. Fly spittle, or vomit. is swarming with bacteria and
contaminates
feed and areas where feed is stored. A fly can infect feed/food by
merely
landing on it. Flies can enter a building that has openings not much
larger
than the head of a pin. Although they rarely travel very far from where
they
are hatched, flies may be lured to the sources of attractive odors.
Flies may
also be carried long distances by air current. One female fly can
produce
thousands of offspring in a single breeding season. Flies have favorite
resting
places. They are especially fond of places protected from the wind and
on edges
such as garbage can rims and electric wires Flies carry bacteria that
can cause
many diseases known and unknown to man. One fly can carry over 33
million
disease-causing microorganisms on the inner and outer surfaces of its
body.
There are over 87,000 different fly species. The fly is one of the
fastest
flying insects. A fly's vision is sharp for only 24 to 36 inches. One
successful hatch can result in well over 2 million flies. One season can
breed
as much as 25 generations.
The common
fly is such a pesky pest. But did you know that it carries over 1
million different bacteria
on its body? Flies eat puke basically. They vomit on whatever it is that
they
want to eat and then suck it up with their tongue. You see flies don't
have teeth
and they vomit their stomach liquid on whatever they want to eat. The
stomach
fluid then liquefies the solid portion and the fly laps it up.
Flies also have Velcro feet that they use for hanging
upside-down and claws
that they use on level ground. A fly has an adhesive
solution that it shoots out of its claws to walk upside-down. As it
walks
hanging upside down the gunk solution attracts germ critters that hang
on to
the gunk and get a free ride.
The common housefly uses the hair on its legs and feet
like people use their
tongues. The hairs tell the fly if wherever they land is good for a
meal. Then
the fly pukes on the area it wants to liquefy and slurps it up with its
tongue.
The fly sees the world as a great big buffet
restaurant and it is constantly
retching, and licking it all up. We can help
