House Flies vs. Cluster Flies – What's the Difference? 🪰
🏠 House Flies: Common during warmer months, house flies are attracted to food, garbage and organic waste. They reproduce quickly and can spread bacteria by contaminating food and surfaces.
🍂 Cluster Flies: As fall temperatures drop, cluster flies gather on sunny exterior walls looking for warm places to spend the winter. They're typically slower-moving than house flies and often appear around windows, attics and upper floors. Unlike house flies, cluster flies don't breed in household garbage or food.
