Everyone knows mosquitoes can be a real nuisance, especially in the hot and humid weather of the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. However, most of us do not realize the real threats mosquitoes can carry. Some of the world's most dreaded diseases are known to be carried and transmitted by mosquitoes. Many countries around the world are ravaged yearly by malaria, yellow fever, and dengue-hemorrhagic fever. In the United States, encephalitis and dog heartworm are the primary mosquito-borne diseases. Dengue, similar to malaria, has recently crossed the Mexican border into Texas and is now seen as a serious public health threat.

Flies have been a nuisance to humans and animals for thousands of years. Most flies have dirty habits that make them efficient disease transmitters. They are attracted to moist organic material. Different species are attracted to different foods, some prefer meat scraps, some ripe fruit, and some milk products. They digest food in liquid form, this is accomplished by saliva from regurgitated stomach acids.
