The population of house flies is far higher in the warmer months as they are more active and they reproduce more rapidly.
The daytime is when most house flies are most active as peak activity often occurs in either the early morning or the late afternoon.
It may be an idea to keep food sources away from the window as the insects are attracted to them.
This also includes rubbish like waste, bones, leftovers and rotting food.
In the UK, wasps are also most active during the summer months when their colonies are at peak size.
In this period, they are busy foraging for food, feeding their larvae, and they build nests – which are difficult to get rid of.
This also means the activity of stingers is at its peak, so shoppers need to protect themselves, particularly from June until the end of August.
Why do flies come out in summer?
Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE!
The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures.
Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active.
The hotter weather also let’s them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs.
House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours!
In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days.
The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months!
