With the onset of warmth, flies begin to appear in the country toilet. In addition to aesthetic discomfort, these insects can be harmful, so you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. There are many ways to deal with the problem. In addition, it is advisable to find out the reasons for the appearance of insects.
Reasons for the appearance
Toilet flies begin to appear indoors in the spring and summer. Insects cause a lot of inconvenience, so the first thing to do is to find out the reasons for their appearance.
The fact is that for the appearance and further life of these insects, a humid and warm microclimate is required.
The best environment is human excrement and household waste, which are abundant in a rural or garden toilet. The lifespan of one individual in such conditions is relatively short, but flies reproduce at an incredible rate. A large number of insects appear for a simple reason - one adult can lay up to 100 eggs per day. Before reaching puberty, the fly goes through several stages of development.
-
Eggs... As a rule, adults leave clutches directly in waste products.
-
Into the stage larvae the fly passes within 24 hours. At this stage, the egg turns into a white thread-like worm.
-
Thanks to a good microclimate and intensive nutrition, after 5-7 days, white worms turn into thick maggots Brown color.
-
After a few days, the maggots pupate and turn into insects that outwardly resemble flies. The main difference is the lack of wings. Pupae cannot fly, so they continue to crawl near maggots.
At the final stage of development, pupae turn into sexually mature flies, mate and lay new eggs. That is why the daily growth of flies will be ensured.
Flies and maggots cause aesthetic discomfort. They also carry bacteria.
On their paws, they transfer small particles of waste, thereby spreading them over all surfaces on which they sit.

If for some reason it was not possible to cope with insects, you can turn to professionals for help. There are companies that disinfect country toilets and cesspools.
