CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What pests do flies eat? (What pests do flies eat?)

1. How do flies prey on insects?

Flies have sharp eyesight and usually catch other insects in the air during the day. They have long legs that can catch their prey and use their long mouths to penetrate their prey's body and suck out the substances inside. They have hard bristles on their heads, which can effectively deal with the resistance of their prey.

Most flies never prey on anything. They do not eat living things, but feed on human food scraps, feces, pollen, nectar, animal carcasses, etc.

2. How to kill maggots?

Drugs to kill maggots: Fly larvae are generally concentrated and sensitive to drugs, so it is a good time to kill them with drugs. Commonly used drugs include organophosphorus, such as trichlorfon, malathion, fenitrothion, and chlorpyrifos; carbamates include dichlorvos and pyrethroids.

Killing adult flies with drugs: Space spraying is the most effective way to quickly reduce the density of flies indoors and outdoors. It uses smaller doses of insecticides, such as dichlorvos and cypermethrin, to directly and quickly kill adult flies. Residual spraying is to use insecticide preparations with delayed and contact effects, and use constant spraying, deep smearing, painting, etc. to make the active ingredients of the insecticide evenly adhere to the staying surface according to a certain dose.

Commonly used agents include malathion, cis-cypermethrin, etc.; poison bait is used to kill flies. Insecticides with strong stomach poison effects are incorporated into baits that flies like to eat in a certain proportion for adult flies to feed on. Flies can die within a few minutes to tens of minutes after eating.

Such as 0.5% DDT rice grains, 0.1% DDT sugar solution, 1% Promethazine sugar solution; fly poison rope fly killing uses the habit of houseflies to stay on ropes and other hanging objects indoors to kill flies. For example, 1% to 2% Promethazine emulsion can be soaked in cotton, rope, or hemp rope with a diameter of 2.4 to 4.8 mm.

Additional information:

Maggots are larvae of invertebrates, class Insecta, order Diptera. Because their heads and mouthparts are extremely degenerate, they are called headless larvae. For example, the larvae of flies, maggots, are headless larvae.

3. What do flies like to eat?

1. Common house flies, golden flies, green flies, blow flies, and flesh flies are omnivorous flies. They have a strong tendency to sugar, vinegar, ammonia, and fishy smells.

2. Some specialize in sucking nectar and plant juices, and some specialize in eating human and animal blood or blood from animal wounds and eye and nasal secretions. Other knowledge about flies: 1. Flies often land on disgusting things. Spoiled food, feces, etc. are their favorites, and they will naturally be contaminated with bacteria. 2. Flies' taste receptors are on their feet. Because they are contaminated with a lot of dirt, which affects their taste, they often rub their feet.

3. Usually, flies carry more than 200 kinds of harmful germs. Even if they only stay on food for 1 second, they can "transmit" the bacteria to the food.

4. Do flies eat small flying insects?

Don't eat.

The feeding habits of flies depend on the species. Some specialize in sucking nectar and plant juices, while others specialize in eating human and animal blood or blood from animal wounds and secretions from the eyes and nose. The common houseflies, golden flies, silkworm green flies, blowflies, and flesh flies are omnivorous flies, which means they widely feed on human food, livestock and poultry secretions and excrement, kitchen scraps, and organic matter in garbage. They have a strong tendency to sugar, vinegar, ammonia, and fishy smells. According to research, if female flies are simply provided with water, sugar, and carbohydrates, they can grow, but their ovaries cannot develop and they cannot lay eggs; only by adding protein food or multiple amino acids can they lay eggs normally.
