About This Book

The bulletin surveys flies commonly found in dwellings, focusing on the true house fly: its identification, life cycle, breeding sites (especially horse and other manures and decaying organic matter), and role in transmitting intestinal diseases by contaminating food. It distinguishes similar species such as biting stable flies, cluster flies, blowflies, and fruit flies, and provides notes on natural enemies, illustrative plates, and practical control measures covering sanitation, breeding-site removal, and municipal responsibilities to reduce infestations and disease risk.
