Flies
What They Are
Flies are common household pests in Louisiana, especially during warmer months. Several types may show up around homes, including house flies, drain flies, and fruit flies. While each species behaves a little differently, they are all attracted to food, moisture, and organic material — which makes kitchens, drains, and trash areas ideal spots for them to gather.
Where You’ll See Them
Flies are most often found around sinks, drains, trash cans, recycling bins, pet areas, dirty dishes, and anywhere food or moisture is present. Fruit flies are commonly seen around ripened fruit or open containers, while drain flies hover near sinks, tubs, and floor drains.
Why They’re a Problem
Flies are annoying to live with and can quickly multiply if conditions are right. Their constant buzzing, landing, and swarming around food or living spaces is frustrating — and their presence often means there’s a food or moisture source nearby.
How They Get Inside
Flies may enter through open doors, windows, gaps in screens, or by laying eggs near drains or trash areas. Louisiana’s heat and humidity allow fly populations to grow quickly, especially in homes with high activity or poor ventilation.
