The term fly is used to describe any insect that is able to fly. Though flies have a short life span, they can sprout out quickly and spread dangerous diseases such as Salmonella, Dysentery, Tuberculosis, and Cholera.
Among the thousand species of flies, only few are nasty and common in our surroundings. These creatures pose serious health risks due to their ability to contaminate food and spread diseases rapidly.
Amicare is the Best Fly Control Services in Kochi, Kerala, offering comprehensive solutions to eliminate flies and prevent their return using safe, effective, and scientifically proven methods.
Common Fly Species & Their Threats
House Fly
Description & Behavior:
Common grey coloured flies with red compound eyes found in and around homes. Live very close to humans, feed on foodstuffs and waste. More active during hotter summer months.
Life Cycle:
Female flies mate once but produce 300+ eggs. Development: 6-42 days (7 days in optimal summer). Lifespan: 2-3 weeks (up to 3 months in cooler conditions).
Health Threats:
Threat Level: Carriers of disease agents picked from garbage and faecal matters. Contaminate food through spitting and regurgitation.
Fruit Fly
Description & Behavior:
Small, oval shaped yellowish or brown flies with red eyes. Attracted to ripened or fermenting fruits and vegetables. Common during late summer.
Life Cycle:
Lay up to 26 eggs per day on fruits. Development: Less than a week (80-89°F) to 70 days (winter). Lifespan: 25-30 days with 500+ offspring.
Health Threats:
Threat Level: Contaminate food with bacteria and disease-producing organisms. Larvae spread yeasts causing souring. Quick replication makes control difficult.
Drain Fly

Also known as Moth Fly or Sewage Fly. Gray or tan body with scaled wings. Associated with moist areas like sink drains and sewage facilities.
Life Cycle:
Eggs laid on water/moist surfaces, hatch in 48 hours. Complete cycle: 8-24 days depending on temperature. Larvae live in water/muddy environments.
Health Threats:
Threat Level: Hard to recognize breeding sites due to small larvae size. High replication potential makes them a nuisance.
