Their antennae are feathery, and they are equipped with sponging mouthparts.
Their small worm-like larvae are yellowish to white.

They carry a lot of dangerous diseases and bacteria on their legs that they can spread throughout your home. A bottle fly infestation should be eliminated from your house as quickly as possible.
Why do I have a bottle fly problem?
Animal feces, garbage, and organic piles of vegetation can all attract bottle flies to your property.

Bottle flies commonly enter into your Middle Tennessee home through spaces found around windows and doors, cracks in exterior walls, and through holes found in screens.
