Cluster Flies Chelmsford

 

Now we are moving into the Autumn months cluster flies can become a problem. These are grey / brown slow moving flies about the same size as a housefly. Unlike houseflies they are not attracted by food leftovers. Instead the larvae are a parasite of earthworms and In autumn the adults congregate in large numbers in upper rooms or roof spaces of houses to hibernate, reemerging in Spring to find egg laying sites outside. They are frequently found in the gaps around window frames and can sometimes be found in very larges numbers.
