Piyush Arun, an owner of a fast-food restaurant, said in an interview with The Daily Tribune, "We see a lot of flies, especially in Gudaibiya, and I think that's because people drive away after throwing trash out of their cars It's unhygienic! IPM, in my opinion, should concentrate on preventing or minimizing issues with houseflies to reduce risk to human health, the environment, and possibly pets."

"Sanitation is the finest cultural control strategy. Dead flies should be removed and disposed of since they could be food for other insects that invade homes," he said.

Among the diseases, they spread include typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera, poliomyelitis, yaws, anthrax, tularemia, leprosy, and tuberculosis.

A new dilemma has arisen for the people of Bahrain: the housefly crisis!
