Are house flies dangerous?

Yes, house flies are considered to be dangerous. House flies land and feed on garbage and feces. Consequently, when they get into your home they will introduce bacteria and diseases from those items to you and your family.

Why do I have a house fly problem?

House flies are drawn to homes because they are looking for access to food and water sources. They are often attracted to feces, garbage, leaky fixtures, and compost piles. They will enter into your home through torn screens, gaps found around windows and doors, and any other small opening that acts as an entrance into your home.
