Do house flies live for 24 hours?
A small house fly sits on the wet leaf of a plant on Nov. 14, 2012, in Bremerton, Washington's Blueberry Park. When it finally reaches its adult stage, the common housefly (or Musca domestica) tends to live for about two to three weeks, but can live up to a couple months.
How long do house flies take to die?
The length of their life cycle depends on where the flies are. These pests live longer as adults in cooler places, but breed faster in warmer climates. Unfortunately, the typical home or business provides the perfect living conditions for these insects. On average, a fly can live two to three weeks.
