Common Fly Species in Cookeville and Their Risks

Knowing what you’re dealing with is the first step toward effective fly management. Here are the most common flies in Cookeville and why they pose a risk:

  • House Flies: Found around garbage, compost, or pet waste. Known to spread pathogens like salmonella and E. coli.
  • Fruit Flies: Small and fast-breeding, attracted to ripening or fermenting produce.
  • Drain Flies: Thrive in stagnant water found in drains, septic tanks, or sump pits.
  • Blow Flies: Typically indicate decaying matter or improperly disposed organic material nearby.

Each species requires a different management plan, and our experts are trained to spot the differences, target breeding sites, and recommend permanent solutions.
