CATDOLL : CATDOLL: There is no fire in the house and no toilet nearby. I just have a pet. Why are there flies?

1. There is no fire or toilet at home, but I have a pet. Why are there flies?

Because flies like places with poor sanitation.

There was no stove in the house and no toilet nearby, but there was a pet with flies. The biggest possibility was that a mouse had died somewhere in the house.

Flies like places with poor sanitary conditions. If the house is clean, there will be no place for them to live, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, where there are usually a lot of daily rubbish, which are often the breeding places for flies.

Flies live in the summer. When it is hot, everyone has to open the windows, so flies will fly into the house through the doors and windows. Installing screen doors and screen windows on the balcony windows is also a good way to prevent flies.

2. My dog ​​is 18 years old. He hasn't eaten for three consecutive days and is listless. There are a lot of flies on his body. His tongue is white, there is blood on his tail, and his legs are wet. What's going on?

It may be injured. Check carefully. Don't comfort him. He has been 18 years old. It is not easy. Comforting him is too unfair. He should be injured on his leg. If it is wet, it is probably because that part is uncomfortable and he licked and bit it. The weather is hot now. If the wound is not treated in time and becomes inflamed, it will easily attract flies. If he is not wilted. He must be weak and listless after not eating for three days. It is best to give him some glucose water with VC to ensure basic vital signs. Old dogs have poor appetites, and they will not want to eat if they are not feeling well. Take good care of him. He is so old. You should have a deep relationship. He should not have much time to accompany you. It is equivalent to 126 years old in human.

The OP's dog is 18 years old, which is 93 years old in human years.

Therefore, if this symptom appears, it is very likely that the dog is dying of old age.

The symptoms of a dog dying of old age are that the dog always lies in the cage, has weak limbs, has some hair falling off, has no energy to eat, and sleeps more. When some dogs die of old age, the hair and whiskers around their mouths turn white and gray, and sometimes they shed tears. Check if your dog has any of the above symptoms. If not, then it is not dying of old age.

If a dog doesn't eat, it probably has a bad stomach or no appetite. If it has lost its teeth or lies there all day, it will not have the energy to eat.

Flies are attracted to your body because you have a bad smell or stink. It could be because you have a wound that has not been treated in time.

A pale tongue indicates anemia, which is caused by insufficient nutrition.

If there is blood on the tail, it means the tail is injured. If not, you can check the dog's belly to see if there is any injury.

The wetness on your legs is probably caused by the dog licking you, because dogs don't have sweat glands and don't sweat.

I suggest you take your dog to the hospital. If it continues to refuse to eat, feed it some glucose or give it an IV. Otherwise, the situation will get worse because it is too weak. If the dog has a wound, it should be treated in time. If the wound attracts flies, it means the wound is rotting and inflamed, and you should give the dog anti-inflammatory drugs. Pay more attention to whether the dog has a fever.

Hope your dog recovers soon!

Look at the color of the dog's poop. If it is black, it means blood in the stool. If the tongue is white, it is caused by poor nutrition.

Eighteen years is quite old, and the injury may not have been treated in time.

It’s been 18 years, you are amazing.

In fact, being a dog should be very happy, so think about your well-being.

3. What’s the matter with the small flies in the house after summer?

1. Why are there flies?

Because you have things in your home that attract flies:

Anything that is rotten (moldy) (usually mice, beans, fruits, plants, and some bought and unused food or things that are dusty, moldy, and rotten)

Anything with a bad smell (stinky preserved eggs, stinky tofu, pickled meat, etc., toilet odor)

Leftovers

As for the sewers, there are very few now (because the sewers in Shenli are relatively small now, if your house is an old house and you rarely use water, it may appear)

Solution: Use 1.2 below together (use 2 first)

1. Treatment of symptoms:

If there are a lot of black flies, close the doors and windows and spray insecticide (open the doors and windows for fresh air 10-15 minutes after leaving home)

If there are a lot of flies, buy some fly paper

If you want to kill it yourself, buy a fly swatter

I don't recommend potions (polluting the environment, not as good as pesticides, but you can use them if you want)

2. Root cause treatment:

There must be something in your home that attracts flies. Find it and throw it away. (It is best to mop it with disinfectant a few times first, then sprinkle some disinfectant on the place. There is no substitute for using laundry detergent.)

Pay attention to your home environment

Don’t buy food or fruit and leave it alone until it gets moldy and rots.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator, not on the table

Garbage falls every day

If you have pets, keep them clean.

The toilet should not have any odor (if there is any, it should be very small)

Sweep and mop the floor often.

Keep doors and windows closed

If you can't find the problem with the combustion in your home, please pay attention to the surrounding environment (especially around the windows, where the problem may be, especially if your home has a balcony)

Use boiling water to scald the sewer pipes, remember to close the doors and windows, buy some camphor tree slices to keep insects away at home, and take out the garbage frequently.

Dry flies, water mosquitoes

It's something in your house that has a bad smell.

See where the concentration is.

Such as kitchen, bathroom

The old man pickled salted duck eggs and pickles. They were smelly.

There are sticky fly paper and an electric mosquito swatter.

All are OK. Electric fly remover is expensive and not easy to use.

They may be bred in sewers, such as the sewers in the kitchen and bathroom, which are often used and not covered, and they are just on the pipe walls.

4. The cat caught and ate flies again! How to prevent flies from visiting your home?

Hot summer is the season that insects dream of the most.

The high temperature in summer speeds up the deterioration of food and increases the growth rate of bacteria. Flies and other insects begin to be ecstatic, flapping their wings desperately and flying to places full of appetite.

A fly that comes to someone's house may be fantasizing about having a good meal one second, and be scared to death by the cat the next.

Not all cats eat flies, but all cats catch flies.

Cats are very interested in flying insects such as flies. Once they discover the existence of a fly, they will look for it wherever their eyes can reach, even if they have to go to great lengths to find it.

For cats, flies are natural toys and prey. Catching them is both an instinct and an interest.

Some cats will slap the fly to death with their harmless little hands, but some cats will put the fly into their mouths if you are not careful!!!

Although flies are small, they contain a lot of bacteria. They rely on saliva and digestive juices to break down human food into small pieces and then eat them.

Research has shown that when flies look for food or eat food, they carry more than 130 kinds of pathogens.

These pathogens even include tuberculosis and typhoid fever, which can be transmitted to humans.

When a cat eats a fly, its body is likely to be invaded by bacteria and parasites.

Even if cats do not eat flies, flies can still lay eggs on their bodies, so regular deworming is very important.

So, how do you prevent cats from eating flies?

It must be: prevention is better than cure. If you can keep flies out of your home, keep them out.

01

Keep your home clean

No matter how busy you are, you should still do a thorough cleaning once a week and disinfect with a pet-safe disinfectant.

When cleaning, remember the dead corners in your home. Your carelessness will create breeding grounds for bacteria.

02

Install screen window

Screen windows can not only prevent the invasion of mosquitoes from outside, but also prevent cats from escaping from home. They can be said to be clean and hygienic.

The screen window you choose should be fit and firm.

But just because there are screens, we can’t stop adding guardrails to the windows to provide an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.

03

Keep food away and litter boxes clean

In the summer, even if you go out, do not leave cat food for more than 24 hours. If you are at home, be sure to put it away after each meal and clean it up every day.

The excrement in the cat litter box should also be cleaned every day. It is best to clean the cat litter box every week to ensure the most basic hygiene conditions.

04

Provide adequate nutrition for cats

Cats who take in comprehensive nutrition will naturally have better resistance and will have a certain degree of defense against the invasion of external bacteria.

Of course, many times, we can’t guard against flies and they still fly in from nowhere. At this time, the cat owner comes in handy.

Even if flies get into your house, you have to volunteer, be the vanguard in the gunfight, and try your best to capture the flies, so that your cat will look at you with admiration!
