Why do houseflies bombard humans??

Question

We will just be sitting there watching television and we get attacked by the flies that got into the house. It's not like we are stinky and dirty, we shower, but they come after us and won't stop until we get out the swatter. Do they have a death wish?

Answer 1

Yes Flies have a death wish, unfortunately they are a part of life.

Happy swatting

Its all that warm weather the flies love it....

Answer 2

Yes, their job is to make life for humans a living h**l!!!  They die trying too.  They are doing a pretty good job.  Them along with their mosquito friends, and the black fly cousins, do a remarkable job.

Answer 3

Flies are also attracted to sweet smelling things (they eat rotting fruit etc that has a sweet smell to it) so any soap or colognes you may use can attract them.

One of the best ways to keep flying insects from bothering you (without the use of repellants) is to wash with unscented soap and not use any scented products after showering.
