Fly control refers to the methods and strategies used to manage and reduce fly populations in various settings, including homes, businesses, and agricultural environments. It encompasses a range of approaches aimed at preventing fly infestations, controlling existing populations, and mitigating the risks associated with flies.
Throughout history, flies have been recognized as a nuisance and a potential threat to human health. They can transmit diseases, contaminate food, and cause discomfort. Effective fly control is therefore essential to safeguard public health and well-being, as well as to protect livestock and crops from fly-borne illnesses and damage.
