\"Flies
Flies and gnats can be big problems.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

House flies are a common sight in homes during the summer months, but what about those small flies that show up just about any time during the year? These tiny flies can prove to be a big problem that requires expert help from the best exterminator in Ocean County<\/a>. If you have one of the following in your home, it\u2019s time to get in touch with pest control professionals.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fruit flies: These flies are roughly 3 mm in length, including their wings. They have a tan thorax with a darker colored abdomen and red eyes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fungus gnats: These grayish-black gnats<\/a> range from 0.5 to 4 mm in length, including their wings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Phorid flies: These yellowish or brownish flies have small heads and a humpback-shaped thorax. They range from 1 to 3 mm in length, including their wings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Drain flies: These gray or tan flies look like small moths, although they only have two wings rather than four. They range from 4 to 6 mm in length, including their wings.<\/p>\n

Removing the source of breeding can help you prevent fly or gnat infestations. Keep in mind, though, that you might have these flies living in hard-to-reach spaces, such as inside walls.<\/p>\n
