SHORE FLY CONTROL

ABOUT SHORE FLIES:

Shore flies (Scatella spp.) are small flies that are commonly found in wet and humid environments such as coastal areas, marshes, and around bodies of water. They are attracted to decaying organic matter and are often seen near sewage plants, compost piles, and wet soil. Shore flies are small, typically measuring around 2 to 4 mm in length. They have dark-colored bodies and short, stocky wings. The adults resemble small black flies, and they tend to gather in large numbers, forming swarms in their preferred habitats.

Shore flies can become pests when they infest indoor areas such as greenhouses, hydroponic systems, and indoor gardens. They are attracted to moist, algae-rich environments and can reproduce rapidly in these settings. The larvae of shore flies develop in organic-rich, wet soil or growing media. They feed on decaying plant matter, fungi, algae, and bacteria. As pests, shore flies can cause several problems. They can contaminate crops, affecting their marketability, and can also be a nuisance to humans due to their swarming behavior. Additionally, their presence in large numbers can disrupt the balance of beneficial insects in agricultural or horticultural systems.

Integrated pest management (IPM) approaches, such as introducing natural predators or parasites, using traps & lures, applying natural protectants & treatments, and practicing good plant hygiene, can help manage pest insect populations effectively. Regular monitoring and early detection are crucial in preventing severe infestations and minimizing the damage caused by these persistent pests.
