House flies are very well known for carrying and spreading disease. Each house fly can carry more than millions of bacteria which is why it is crucial that these flies don’t get into cooking establishments or even near your food. A simple house fly can spread diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid fever unto humans just by simply sitting onto your food or surfaces where you prepare your food. Once a house fly lands on your meal it regurgitates its stomach fluids onto the meal to liquefy it before it ingests it. Not only will a house fly eat your meal but it will also defecate on it also and it is important to remember that once these flies sit on your food they are coming from their homes which is garbage and/or animal waste which is why it is important that if you have a house fly problem to make sure that they stay away from your food.

HABITATS: House flies can be found residing anywhere where there are humans. They strive in areas that have garbage, feces, or decaying matter.
