Houseflies

HOUSE FLİES

BIOLOGY
It has black-grey color in the length of 0.5 – 1 cm. They leave 100 – 150 pieces of eggs in bulk into places, having moist organic substance such as garbage and fertilizer. Emerged larva are fed by organic substances and they become mature in 7 -8 days averagely in 30 – 35 C. They reproduce very quickly. They are fed by all kinds of food and garbage wastes and they invade everywhere, in which people live by flying 3 km averagely and they infect microbe to the foods, which they settle on because they carry very various disease microbes on their bodies. They leave feces into places, where they travel in each 5 minutes.
HOUSE FLIES live together with people and they constitute a family themselves. (especially Muska, Famma, Muscina and stomoxys types). It has many types such as Chrysomya, whose larva and pupas are goring in the animal carcass and livestock, Calliphora, Lucilia and sarcohaga, leaving eggs onto meat and milk. House flies are very sensitive about the odor. They constitute flocks in the rotten meats and fruits. They are also very sensitive to the heat and they rest on the shadows of bushes or leaves of plants, in which they are often present. Feeding places are wastes of animal and human and mainly feces of human and animal. Generally garbage dump and drain deposits are ideal feeding places for these flies. Experimental and epidemiological studies on HOUSE FLIES display that it is determined that these flies have pathogen microorganisms (virus, bacteria, protozoon, helmint eggs etc.) both in the internal and also outer structure of their bodies due to their habits of dirty feeding and in work wastes. These flies, living in the places, where they can supply food in daytime, they accommodate in the edges of furniture, ropes, wires and ceilings in order to rest at nights. House flies rest outside, surfaces of buildings, fences or railings, trees and bushes at nights when heat average is high. House flies generally live in the houses but, their main sources are garbage dumps and animal shelters. House flies, living such places out of city, are carried by transportation vehicles into city centrums.
