If there is one thing horse lovers don’t like to see buzzing around their properties, it’s stable flies. Why? The winged insects have a nasty habit of biting horses, dogs and humans. Plus, they carry viruses, bacteria and diseases that neither humans nor livestock want to encounter during the course of their lifetime. Happily, the vile creatures can easily be sent on their way with the aid of our Valrico pest control professionals.
Our Valrico pest control professionals know that Florida’s stable flies love to breed in grass cuttings, compost bins and wet hay bales year round. So, our lawn spraying team typically makes it a point to heavily treat those areas during peak breeding times. The treatments are powerful enough to kill the stable flies’ eggs and larvae. Once the blood-sucking pests reach adulthood, we also like to treat areas in and around our customers’ homes. Those treatments are meant to keep the adults from entering the home and biting the property’s occupants.
It should also be noted that even properties devoid of decaying vegetation and animal poop can end up being overrun with stable flies for one important reason. The insects are known to scout for new food sources and breeding sites far away from their actual homes. So, people living near horse farms, horseracing tracks and similar areas could find themselves being bitten too. In those cases, scheduling Valrico pest control will help make surrounding areas less attractive to adults in search of temporary resting spots and a few quick bites.
