Tiny Wings, Big Problem
Warm summers bring not only blooming beauty but also uninvited buzzing guests: flies and aphids. While small, these seemingly harmless insects can become a nuisance and even pose health risks. B.E.S.T. Pest is here to educate you on these common Wisconsin pests and offer effective solutions for a pest-free home.
Meet the Flying Squad:
Drain Flies: These tiny, moth-like flies breed in moist areas like drains, garbage disposals, and leaky pipes. They are attracted to organic matter and can spread bacteria.
Fruit Flies: These vinegar-loving flies thrive around ripening fruits, sugary spills, and garbage. They can contaminate food and surfaces.
Fungus Gnats: These gnat-like flies breed in moist soil and feed on fungus. While not harmful to humans, they can damage houseplants.
Phorid Flies: These humpbacked flies breed in decaying organic matter like pet waste and overripe fruits. They can be attracted to lights and may bite, leaving itchy welts.
Aphids: Aphids are soft-bodied, sap-sucking insects which target various plants, both indoors and outdoors. They cluster on leaves and stems, draining nutrients and leaving behind sticky honeydew, attracting mold, and weakening the plant. They come in various colors and can reproduce rapidly.

The Dangers of Tiny Invaders: While these pests may seem small, they can pose several problems:
- Contamination: Flies can spread bacteria on food and surfaces, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
- Nuisance: Their presence can be annoying and disrupt your enjoyment of your home.
- Plant Damage: Aphids can weaken and damage plants, impacting your garden's beauty and harvest.
DIY vs. Professional Pest Control:
While DIY pest control might seem like a quick fix, it's riddled with hidden dangers. Misidentifying fly species leads to ineffective or harmful solutions, wasting time and money. Over-the-counter remedies rarely target the root cause, leaving you with recurring infestations. And improper use of harsh insecticides can expose your family, pets, and the environment to unnecessary health risks. Don't gamble with your health or home; choose B.E.S.T. Pest for safe, effective, and lasting solutions to your flying pest problems.
