Easy access and inadequate circulation and sanitation can be reasons for a fly infestation in the garage.
Specifically, some residents unwittingly encourage pests such as flies by not closing doors and windows. Other residents may keep the garage so tightly shut that circulation of air is inadequate and welcomes the flies that manage to enter during the few moments of open access. Either way, flies will congregate in a garage which has cracked ceilings, floors and walls or dirt surfaces. They also will cluster in garages where animals can enter and propagate before dying or which have loosely covered or uncovered garbage cans and Plumbing facilities in which bacteria grows.
Control and prevention include:
Application of permethrin-based insecticides;
Cleaning and repair of garage interiors;
Removal of dead wildlife;
Rinses of sinks and trash cans monthly with bleach;
Seals on waste receptacles;
Window screens so that glass can be regularly raised and shut during daylight hours
