Sydney is being attacked by flies!

The recent fly plague in Sydney is due to a combination of factors, including a warmer-than-usual winter, spring flowers, and recent downpours.
Flies tend to die off in the colder months, but the mild winter meant that more flies survived.
Spring flowers have provided a source of fuel for flies, and recent downpours have provided the perfect breeding ground for them.
The good news is that fly plagues are usually temporary and will likely subside once cooler weather arrives.
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.
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.
