Should fly traps be used as a primary method or a supplement to eliminate the source of flies?

Using fly traps as a supplement to eliminate the source of flies is a strategic approach to effective pest management. While fly traps can capture adult flies and help reduce their population, they do not address the root cause of the infestation. Flies often breed in decaying organic matter or waste, and without eliminating these breeding sites, traps may only provide a temporary solution.

By using traps as a supplementary method, you can continuously monitor and reduce the adult population while focusing on sanitation practices and the removal of breeding sources. This dual approach increases the likelihood of long-term control and ensures the environment becomes less conducive to future infestations. Thus, integrating traps within a broader pest management strategy that prioritizes the elimination of fly sources proves to be the most effective course of action.
