Flies are annoying insects that, with their monotonous buzzing, deprive people of rest and sleep, and also damage food supplies by laying their eggs in them. You can completely get rid of fruit flies, house flies and other types of flies only with the help of bio-based chemicals (Raptor) or synthetic insecticides (Agita). However, their use in the home is not always possible or desirable. A fly repeller can provide reliable protection from uninvited guests and reduce their presence to a minimum. This article will tell you more about the features of the device.
The principle of operation of the repeller and its varieties
An ultrasonic fly repeller is a small electronic device that generates high-frequency waves. These are the ones that insects regard as a signal of possible danger. A similar sound that scares away flies is made by bats, which are the natural enemies of annoying pests. Flies perceive the frequency waves emanating from the device as a signal that an enemy is approaching and strive to leave the given territory as quickly as possible.
To repel flies the following are used:
- stationary repellers are large, high-power devices designed for use in large areas (in grocery stores, warehouses, large stores, markets);
- portable repellers are small in size and used to protect one user during a walk, outdoor recreation or hike; they can operate both from the mains and from batteries.
On a note!
Its cost varies depending on the type and power of the device.
Operating principle of an ultrasonic repeller
A device that emits ultrasonic waves is an excellent alternative to chemicals used to control insects. The range of operating frequencies of the repeller is not perceptible to the human ear, but flies easily pick it up.
The operating principle of the device is based on the use of high-frequency sound produced by bats, the enemies of insects. Therefore, having caught the vibrations of the waves emanating from the switched on device, the flies immediately retreat to a safe distance.
The range of the repeller depends on the type of device. The industry produces stationary devices that operate on mains power or a powerful battery and cover a large area.
Portable options are also available. The ultrasound emitted by a bracelet or keychain will save one person from flies, driving the insects away a short distance. A household appliance plugged into an outlet covers an area with a radius of up to 3 m.
Attention! Any device that operates on the principle of emitting ultrasonic waves does not kill pests, but only repels them.
Devices of this type have many advantages:
- They do not harm the health of humans and pets.
- The effectiveness of the impact on pests is observed within a few minutes from the moment the device is put into operation.
- The devices operate silently, which allows them to be used at night.
- The compactness of the device and ease of use are attractive.
The range of high frequency waves used in the device makes the repellers universal. Many models can be used to protect not only from flies, but also from mosquitoes, as well as other household insects. Rodents (rats, mice) are also afraid of ultrasound.

- The effective operation of the device can be observed after just a few minutes of operation.
- Thanks to the creation of new design solutions, devices of this type are able to protect not only from flies, but also mosquitoes, as well as other flying pests. Ease of use is also created by the availability of a choice of the most suitable device in terms of size and power, as well as the method of its power supply.

How dangerous are flies?
Most flies common in the Moscow region are commensal insects and are neither agricultural pests nor parasites. However, depending on the type, they pose the following risks to humans:

- some species (burner flies, bloodsuckers) feed on the blood of people and domestic animals and are also carriers of infectious diseases;
- Botfly larvae are facultative parasites of domestic animals and, less commonly, humans, causing severe soft tissue lesions (myiases).

Flies are a source of infection
The fly is a two-winged creature and belongs to the arthropods. Her body consists of aerodynamic components: a firebrand, a belly, a chest and three pairs of legs. Due to the fact that its feet are sticky and it has a pair of claws, this individual can calmly tap dance on the ceiling. The eyes of this creature are located in a unique way. Thanks to the special structure of her eye sockets, she can identify objects and navigate 360 degrees in space. With her antennae she determines where the smell is located.
Features of behavior
Flies are omnivorous parasites and can feed on almost any organic food. When crushing solid food, the fly uses its secretion in saliva, it kind of softens it, but for some reason they prefer all sorts of sweet products most of all. Among them there are also special gourmets who eat moldy cheese or onions. Each female fly lays eggs. The male attracts the attention of his lady with his buzzing. Some time after laying, the maggots hatch from the eggs. On average, a fly will live about 3-4 weeks. Some species of these insects are food for others. In fact, there are a very large number of individuals, but in our Russian regions, the housefly, or popularly called housefly, is common. They are mainly located either near housing or inside it. Among other species, the house fly is similar to the rest and is distinguished by its wings. There is a worse species called the green fly. It is indeed green, and is distinguished by the fact that it eats rot and carrion. The male of such a fly may be eaten by the male before mating.
The danger of flies to humans, ways to solve the problem
There is an even more dangerous species, which is fortunately found in the tropics; this Tsetse fly is an inhabitant of hot continents. They feed on the blood of any living thing.

There are plenty of effective means, there are crayons, powders, solvents, sprayers, tapes, etc.
