Abstract

The purpose of the following investigation was to determine whether house flies overwinter under Manitoba winter conditions, and if so by what means. The overwintering problem is particularly interesting and important in areas with a severe winter climate such as that of Manitoba. Solving this problem would shed information as to the cold resistance and winter adaptations of this insect. It could also become an important factor in controlling this pest. By disinfecting overwintering sites the nuclei of next year's house fly population would be reduced. This in turn might retard the attainment of the high house fly population level during the following summer.
