Behaviour of Flies
Flies are thought to be responsible for the spread of diseases such as diarrhoea, anthrax, eye inflammation and possibly tuberculosis. House flies are almost universally viewed as pests.
They prefer warmer temperatures, and in colder climates are therefore most likely to be found indoors.
