The Biting Fly Problem
Biting flies are some of the most painful insect pests in the St. Louis area. Unlike mosquitoes that use a needle-like mouthpart, biting flies use blade-like mandibles to slice skin—resulting in painful bites that can bleed.
Horse flies and deer flies are particularly problematic near water and wooded areas. They're fast flyers, persistent attackers, and active during daylight hours when you want to be outdoors.
Stable flies look like house flies but bite hard. They're common around livestock areas but also affect suburban homes, especially those near farms or with compost areas.
Common Biting Flies
Horse Flies
Large (up to 1 inch), painful bite, attracted to movement and dark colors
Deer Flies
