Identification and Prevention of Different Fly Types:

Around the world, more than 120,000 different species of fly have been documented, with 18,000 being found in North America. Even though they have a relatively brief lifespan, the Flies can reproduce in great numbers and transmit a wide range of potentially fatal illnesses.
