Any circumstance which increased the population of houseflies, and their ability to survive from one year to the next, could only have made matters worse.
Formal genetics of the housefly in relation to insecticide resistance.
In the case of houseflies such resistance could pose hygiene problems in intensive livestock enterprises, but there are already alternative forms of control and others are being explored.
Adults are generally about 6-8mm in length and a lighter color than the housefly.
The black dump fly is commercially available for use in housefly control.
The housefly is able to eat solid food by secreting saliva and dabbing it over the food item.
The most common indoor flies include housefly, the lesser housefly, the stable fly, the blue bottle fly, the green bottles and the flesh flies.
Housefly larvae can be mass-reared in a controlled manner in animal manure, thus reducing the bulk of waste and minimizing environmental risks of its disposal.
