Arizona House Flies: Why They're More Than Just Annoying & How We Can Help

Arizona Fly Control Experts – Keep Your Home or Business Fly-Free with Desert Shield Pest Control

Tired of buzzing flies in your kitchen or around your trash bins?

You’re not alone — house flies are a serious issue in Arizona, especially during our warm seasons. Thanks to long dry spells and rising temps, fly populations explode in the spring, summer, and fall — invading homes, restaurants, warehouses, and more.

At Desert Shield Pest Control, we offer targeted, professional fly control in Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Vail, Rita Ranch, Corona de Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley, and surrounding areas.

🪰 Why House Flies Are a Big Problem in Arizona

Arizona’s climate creates the perfect breeding ground for house flies. These pests multiply fast and thrive in areas like:

• Overflowing garbage bins and dumpsters

• Pet waste or nearby livestock zones

• Backyard BBQs, outdoor kitchens, and patios

• Compost piles or damp soil

• Overwatered lawns or standing water around the property

💡 A single female house fly can lay up to 500 eggs in just a few days — so a few flies today could become hundreds by next week.

⚠️ Are Flies Dangerous?

Yes — and not just because they’re annoying.

House flies carry over 100 dangerous pathogens, including:

• Salmonella

• E. coli

• Typhoid fever

• Cholera

They contaminate surfaces, food prep areas, and trash zones by spreading bacteria through their feet, saliva, and waste.
