Are there fly eggs on my wall?

Question

Sometimes when I shoo flies away from my wall, there are brown spots underneath them. Is this fly crap or fly eggs? If they are fly eggs, are maggots going to hatch and fall down on me? Gross.

Answer 1

That's basically fly crap. they lay their eggs on organic material so the maggots can eat off, so unless there's raw meat on your wall you shouldn't have a problem.

Answer 2

Those brown spots are neither fly eggs nor fly doo-doo (the proper term). Fly eggs are pinpoint sized pinpoints. They usually are clearly labeled, unless you live in New England where the rules are not as strict. Fly doo-doo, on the other hand, is generally a rich lemony yellow color (though it doesn't taste like lemons, it tastes more like butterscotch).

I'm afraid that without more info, or preferably a photo (could you post one?) it's difficult to answer your query. It sounds, and mind you this is only a supposition based on inadequate data, like you might have an infestation of Scottish Brown Spotted Algae there. Either that , or else your walls are dirty.

Answer 3

Its just crap. They put the eggs in a place the baby maggots can get feed when they born.

Answer 4

Flys would not lay eggs on a surface that cannot be eaten, their instinct is to have them on food instead; so the first option ("crap" ) is the most likely answer.
