This summer it seems as though we’ve had more than our share of house flies here in Arkansas, with several instances of severe home infestations, which is not only annoying but also potentially dangerous. Attracted to virtually any food source, including garbage, sewage, and dead animals, flies are known to carry a number of easily communicable diseases, including typhoid, cholera, dysentery, salmonella, anthrax and tuberculosis. Flies can also transmit the eggs of parasitic worms to animals and humans.
