Rentokil is urging people to be mindful of food safety this summer as flies multiply nationwide.
The pest typically thrives in the summer months amid warmer temperatures. The pest control agency confirmed Dublin has the third worst callout rate for flies nationwide, accounting for 13 per cent of all cases.
Flies can be a health hazard if they come into contact with food. The insect poses the risk of spreading harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Campylobacter spp.
