FLIES COMMONLY FOUND INDOORS

At times, people tend to accept indoor flies as an inevitable fact of life. It is natural to become somewhat frustrated by the flies that occur in the environments we live and work in -- they show up again and again, and seem to pop up out of nowhere, everywhere! The problem can be all the more perplexing in the fall months, a time when insects are not "supposed" to be active. Not only can flies be annoying and disturbing indoors, but some are significant to public health and hygiene as potential transmitters of disease organisms.
