What’s flying in your plant?

Unless it’s your production speed, you may have a problem.

Identifying flying insects can require professional help
Identifying flying insects can require professional help

Imagine this: You’re walking the floor of your facility one afternoon, and out of the corner of your eye, you see something flit by. You know it’s an insect, and since it’s airborne, you know it’s a flying insect. But do you know what kind it is?

On the surface, it may not seem that important to be able to identify the type of insect you’ve seen. But, in reality, when it comes to pest control, one rule applies: You have to know your enemies to know where they breed and how to eliminate them.

Getting to know you

According to McCloud Services, a leader in integrated pest management solutions, flying pests and their preferred habitats vary greatly. For instance, filth flies breed in dirty outdoor areas where bacteria are prevalent, e.g., on garbage, carcasses and/or feces outside a building. Cluster flies resemble filth flies, but they lay their eggs in the soil. When the maggots hatch, they burrow into earthworms, where they live until they’re all grown up.
