1. Prevention and control of flies during the collection and transportation of food waste

The accumulated food waste is rich in nutrients and sufficient water, which provides a good environment for the growth of flies. conditions, therefore, fly control should be carried out at the source. Trash cans in restaurants should be sealed with lids, and garbage should be emptied every day to prevent flies from laying eggs. Food garbage trucks should be cleaned in time and disinfected regularly.

2. Prevention and control of flies during the treatment of food waste

From the perspective of factors affecting the growth of flies, temperature and moisture have a greater impact on flies. Therefore, during the food waste treatment process, cooking the food waste and maintaining the temperature at 45-50°C will not only soften the food waste, but also cause the death of fly eggs without causing denaturation of the proteins in the food waste. Controlling the moisture content of food waste below 40 can effectively control the breeding of flies.

3. Environmental prevention and control

Do a good job in the cleanliness and regular disinfection of food waste processing enterprises; properly handle and remove residual garbage; regularly check the equipment and feeding system to ensure that there is no leakage , do not spray materials; install screen nets on the factory windows to prevent foreign flies from flying in; do a good job in vegetation restoration, and plant some fly-killing plants to effectively reduce the places where flies move and suppress the survival of flies.

4. The best period for killing flies

Whether a fly can complete its life cycle depends largely on climatic conditions. When the temperature is lower than 15°C or higher than 45°C, and the humidity is lower than 60°C or higher than 80°C, it can effectively inhibit the growth of flies. Among the entire fly population, 80% are in the developmental stage and only 20% are adult flies. Therefore, killing flies in April can control flies in the larval stage.

Extended information:

A fly is an insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis. Its life cycle can be divided into several stages: egg, larvae (3 instars), prepupa, pupa, and adult. . Although the life span of a fly is only about one month, its reproductive capacity is very strong. The feeding habits of flies are very complex and they are omnivorous flies that can feed on a variety of substances.

The mouthparts are of the licking and sucking type, with both the upper and lower jaws degenerated, leaving only a pair of rod-shaped mandibular palps; the lower lip degenerated into a long beak, and the end of the beak expanded into a pair of labial flaps with annular grooves. There is a sword-shaped upper lip at the base of the back of the beak, and a flat and long tongue is attached below it, and the two phases are closed to form the food canal.
