House flies in your residential or commercial premise are annoying and a health hazard to you and your people. They commonly cause food contamination, poisoning, and spread diseases like salmonella and E. Coli. These insects spread infections by acting as a bacteria and fungi medium of transportation.
The presence of house flies is unsightly, especially for business owners with restaurants, cafes, and bars. An infestation could quickly deteriorate the reputation of a restaurant causing it to lose business. The presence of flies can also lead to hefty fines and license revocation by the department of health when an inspector is convinced that the restaurant or bar does not meet the required health and sanitation standards.
Therefore, all home and business owners should take it upon themselves to work together with a pest management company to develop house fly treatment and pest control measures to keep their premises free from health risks.
