Overview

This 7-page publication explains fly types and biology as well as how to identify potential sources of infestations.

Though relatively few kinds of flies can breed and complete their life cycles inside a structure, each indoor fly species is unique. For that reason, it's important to correctly identify the type of fly in your home in order to control it.
