The recent fly plague in Sydney is due to a combination of factors, including a warmer-than-usual winter, spring flowers, and recent downpours. <br />Flies tend to die off in the colder months, but the mild winter meant that more flies survived. <br />Spring flowers have provided a source of fuel for flies, and recent downpours have provided the perfect breeding ground for them.<br />The good news is that fly plagues are usually temporary and will likely subside once cooler weather arrives. <br />In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to avoid flies, such as avoiding exercise in the heat of the day and using insect repellent.<br />It's also important to remember that flies play an important role in the ecosystem as pollinators of plants that grow many fruits and vegetables.
