Diseases transmitted by houseflies

It’s summer, and warm weather brings with it an increase in fly activity. This infographic takes a simple look at the disease transmitted by houseflies, and how to prevent them.

February in South Africa is pretty much guaranteed to be hot – wherever you are in the country – and with a rise in temperature comes a rise in the number of flies. In a previous blog post we took at look at some tips to help get rid of flies at home, but we thought you may need a reminder of the many reasons why flies are such a problem!

We know they are a nuisance, but of more concern are the diseases houseflies can transmit. Here they are, summed up for you in a handy infographic:

Armed with these prevention tips, we hope you will be able to enjoy the rest of the summer in relative peace and quiet. And if all else fails, call the experts at Rentokil. Or visit our website to find out more about our services.

I joined Rentokil Initial South Africa in 2004 as the PA to the MD, and after 6 months maternity leave I re-joined the Company in 2009 as the Marketing Co-ordinator for Rentokil. I'm now the Marketing Communication Manager for Rentokil Initial. I'm still terrified of cockroaches (Americana's only!) but the rest of the creepy crawlies we deal with don't really bug me (see what I did there?), so I guess I'm in the right industry! I am passionate about what we do here at Rentokil Initial and also write for our Hygiene Blog, which can be found at www.initial.co.za. Life outside of Rentokil mostly revolves around my daughter, who has just turned nine and my husband (who’s a bit older). I love living in Cape Town and wouldn’t trade living here for anywhere else in the world.
