Does the Hcuse Fly Pass the Winter Months? V.'lu'ro d'". the-annual l'roj) of flies uv t from, is a (question frequently ;keijnf tin- Tbrer.u of Entomology, l'vtf States. Department" of Agricul ture. The prevailing opinion that the house fly lives through the winter as an adult, hiding in cracks and crevices 'of buildings, appears to be erroneous. UVider outdoor conditions house flies are killed during the first really' cold nights -that is,-'. when the temperature falls to about IS or 10 degrees F. In rooms and similar places protected from winds and partially heated dur ing the winter flies have, been kept alive in cages, for. long periods; but they never lived through the entire winter. There is no reliable evidence whatever that adult house flies emerging during October and Novem ber pass the' winter and are able to deposit their eggs the following spring, although they may continue active in lieated buildings until nearly the end of January. On the other hand, thefe is evidence that house flies pass the winter as larvae and pupae, and that they sometimes breed contiriously throughout the winter. In experiments at both Dallas, Tex., and Bethesda, Md., house flies have been (found emerging during April frpm heavily infested manure heaps which had been set out ' and . covered with cages during the preceding autumn. In . the Southern States, during warm periods in midwiter, house- flies may emerge - and become somewhat troublesome; they frequently lay eggs on warm days. The second way in which the house fly may pass the winter is by con- tinous breeding. House flies congre gate in heated rooms with the ap proach of the winter season. If no food or btaeding materials are pres ent they eentually die. However, where they have access to both food and suitable substances for egg laying th-jy witi continue breeding just as they do outdoors during- the summer. Even in very cold climates there, are undoubtedly many places, especially in cities, where house flies would, have opportunity to pass the winter in this manner.
