No doubt many of us will have noticed more pesky flies buzzing around our home as the weather gets warmer. With windows open more often and flies attracted to any sort of ripe fruit, rubbish, veg or moisture we have around, it's easy to see why they seem to multiply in numbers at this time of year.
Different flies will be entering your home looking for different things. Common house flies enjoy nothing more than decaying food like rotting meat, whereas fruit flies look for sugary substances and feed more commonly on overripe fruit, spilt fizzy drinks and alcohol.
Drain flies require moist climates and organic materials and will be attracted to drains like kitchen sinks, where they will also lay their eggs, reports the Express.
