This report analyzes the benefits of the utilization of organic fly traps for targeted fly control measure in the Indian subcontinent, including houseflies (Musca domestica), blowflies (Calliphoridae family), horseflies (Tabanidae family), stud flies (Stratiomyidae family), filth flies (various families), and Uzi flies (Exorista sorbillans). It compares them to insecticides, clearly stating the advantages of organic disposable fly traps.

Housefly Problem and Health Risks:
Houseflies are a serious threat and a nuisance pest across the Indian subcontinent. Due to the climate conditions and favorable breeding grounds, fly populations can easily soar. Studies suggest an average home in India can harbor a higher number of houseflies compared to the global average. The estimates exceed 3,000 at any given time [1]. These flies are persistent and can transmit various diseases, including diarrhea, dysentery, and typhoid fever [2].
Blowflies are A Threat to Hygiene and Livestock:
Blowflies are larger than houseflies. Blowflies deposit eggs on meat, garbage and other animal waste, which leads to maggot infestation. In rural India, blowflies lay eggs on open wounds posing a threat to livestock. This results in irritation and potential infections like Myiasis [3], Lumpy Skin Disease, Pink eye, and Foot and Mouth Disease.
Filth flies spreading Harmful Bacteria:
Filth flies breed in unsanitary conditions, like manure piles, food waste, and sewage areas. Filth flies infest these areas and contribute to the spread of harmful bacteria. Filth flies pose a significant public health risk where open defecation and improper waste disposal can be challenging [4].
Uzi fly is a serious threat to the Sericulture Industry:
Uzi fly is a particular concern in the Indian subcontinent. This parasitic fly that poses a significant threat to the sericulture industry. Uzi flies lay eggs on silkworm larvae, and the hatched maggots burrow inside. The maggots feed on the silkworms and ultimately kills them. This Uzi fly infestation can cause significant losses, impacting silk production in India [5].

- Effectiveness– Our fly traps are non-pheromone based and attracts both male and female flies which control the fly population at once.
Comparison of Organic Fly Control with Insecticides
| Method | Safety | Targeted Control | Environmental Impact | Ease of Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Disposable Fly Traps | High | High | Low | High |
| Insecticides | Low | Low | High | Moderate |
Points to Consider in Fly Control Measure using Fly Traps
- Fly Trap Location– place our organic fly traps outdoors with ample sunshine for optimal results. Strategically place the traps to the location where you the infestation is higher compared to other areas.
- Replacement Frequency– the frequency of replacement depends on the fly infestation and the area of infestation. If the infestation is high, use more than 2 fly traps in the vicinity for better and speedy results.
- Cost-Effectiveness– measure the results every 30 days and compare them with the yield before installing fly traps.
