Biting flies are more than just a painful nuisance—they can make it nearly impossible to enjoy your yard and may even pose health risks to humans and pets. Unlike house flies or fruit flies, biting flies feed on blood, leaving behind itchy, painful welts and potentially spreading diseases. Common species like stable flies, deer flies, and horse flies are especially active around lawns, barns, patios, and wooded areas, and are often drawn to heat, movement, and carbon dioxide.

Controlling biting flies isn’t as simple as swatting them away. These pests are strong fliers that breed in moist, organic environments like compost piles, damp soil, and animal waste. Professional pest control targets breeding grounds and high-activity zones, applying strategic treatments to reduce populations and prevent new infestations. If biting flies are ruining your time outdoors, it's time to take action and reclaim your space.
