Flies

  • Flies have four stages in their life cycle: egg, larvae (maggot), pupa and adult. The development from egg to adult takes 8-20 days.
  • Flies breed in almost any type of moist, warm organic material, like faeces, garbage, fertilizer, food waste, dead animal and other decomposed organic matter.
  • Flies can fly 1-5 km away but are usually within a radius of 100-500m from the breeding place. They are active in the day and inactive at night.
  • Commonly found species in Singapore: house flies, flesh flies, blow flies, phorid flies and sewer flies.

Signs of infestation: eggs, larvae (maggots), pupae and adults in breeding grounds.

Why Control Them?

  • Transmit diseases such as dysentery, cholera, typhoid, Conjunctivitis, trachoma, enteric disease, myiasis.
  • Nuisance.
  • Unhealthy living conditions.
  • Devastating to food establishments and industries.
  • Violation of laws.

What we do:

  • A combination of fogging, ULV misting, residual spraying, trapping and baiting will be used to reduce fly infestation.
