6. Slide 6: Seasonal Pressure

   Small Flies in Food Service Facilities Biology and Behavior Seasonal Pressure  Can occur year-round in warmer climates • Generally prefer warmer temperatures • Floor temperature critical for many species (drains)  Temperatures >70°F stimulate fly emergence  Temperatures <60°F significantly reduce

7. Slide 7: Food Safety Considerations

   Small Flies in Food Service Facilities Food Safety Considerations  Indoor breeding sites • Trash receptacles, feces • Dirty drains • Stagnant standing water • Stagnant mop heads  Rest away from breeding sites, carrying pathogens with them  Sponging mouthparts • Regurgitate liquid from stomach to

8. Slide 8: Mechanical Transmission

   Small Flies in Food Service Facilities Biology and Behavior Mechanical Transmission The potential danger these flies pose is transmission of pathogens through their activities. They breed and feed in unsanitary conditions, and can pick up bacteria and other pathogens, potentially spreading them to f
