Flies
Flies can be a serious pest problem in New Zealand. The country is home to several species of flies, including the infamous New Zealand bush fly and the house fly, which can spread diseases to both humans and animals. The warm, damp climate in many parts of the country is particularly conducive to fly breeding and population growth, leading to significant nuisance and health concerns. To combat this problem, many New Zealanders use fly traps, insecticides, and other pest control methods to keep their homes and businesses free of these pesky insects. The government and local councils also invest in targeted pest management programs to reduce fly populations and maintain public health and safety.
Can I control the problem myself?
DIY fly control is a practical way to manage these pests. One of the simplest and most effective methods is by using flypaper or fly strips which can be hung around the home to capture and eliminate flies. Homemade fly traps can also be made from a mixture of sugar, vinegar, and dish soap to attract and drown flies. Other natural methods of fly control include planting herbs such as basil, lavender, and mint which act as natural repellents, and using essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, and lemongrass to repel flies. Regularly cleaning and disposing of food waste, emptying garbage cans, and keeping the home clean and free of clutter can also help to prevent flies from breeding and multiplying.
