Why Are There Suddenly So Many Flies In My House?

If you are wondering, “Why are there so many flies in my house?”, then you have come to the right place. Here at Carpets & Critters, we specialise in eliminating pest management and infestations in homes across the Bay of Plenty, including flies. If you have lots of flies in the house suddenly, there can be a number of reasons why. 

In this blog, we will explore the reasons for so many flies in the house, and what to do about it. 

Why Do I Have So Many Flies in My House?

A sudden influx of flies can mean that you have a fly infestation in your hands – this can be troubling to deal with. Not only are flies rather annoying (constant buzzing and whirring around), but they can also spread diseases and illnesses.  

Nonetheless, there could be several reasons for the large number of flies in your home, such as:

  • Fast reproduction – flies are known to reproduce quickly despite their average lifespan of only 15 to 30 days
  • Attracted to anything – if you tend to leave food out with the window open, expect flies to come in and eat your food, even if the food has already decayed; they are omnivorous and will eat anything that they have access to (including rubbish!)
  • Warm temperatures – flies rely on warm temperatures, which is why you’ll find many during spring to summer

What to Do About Fly Infestation in House

If you suspect that you have a fly infestation in your home, it’s important to call professionals (such as ourselves) to help you deal with the problem. However, some useful tips to keep in mind are:

  • Keep house clean and empty rubbish bins often
  • Don’t leave food out
  • Close windows and seal any cracks in walls

Thanks Tony for the couch clean. My gosh what a difference you’ve made. It’s brilliant. I don’t let the kids on the couch now to avoid it getting dirty again! Hands down recommend carpets and critters if you need your couches cleaned. I’m positive Tony will do an amazing job on anything else you need also.
Thank you!

Shout out to Tony from Carpets & Critters. He cleaned and flea treated our carpets after we moved out of our rental.
He was excellent in communication, patient and did a fantastic job. We would DEFINITELY recommend them and use them again in future!

Chris Joubert
Tony had a tough job with the state of our carpets due to two messy large dogs, but he got them looking good as new and smelling fresh again. Amazing service and highly recommended!

Clare Lowrie
Tony did such a great job cleaning our carpet where the cat had peed. Very quick, efficient and friendly service and the cleaning products smell nice compared to others we’ve used.

Serai Stockman
We had Tony out to do a fly extermination at our place and it’s been an absolute game changer. We haven’t seen a fly since — the one that did sneak in didn’t last long at all. Excellent service and already recommended him to the whole family!

Petra Parkinson
Tony has done a great professional job in placing a patch in our carpet where the fire place was removed. It looks amazing and I can’t actually see where it is joined in. It’s perfect!
Thank you for a wonderful job.
