Why do flies fly around lamps?

There are a few reasons why flies are attracted to lamps.

* Light: Flies are attracted to light, and lamps are a bright source of light.

* Heat: Lamps also produce heat, which flies find appealing.

* Food: Flies are also attracted to food, and lamps can attract other insects that flies may feed on.

In addition, flies may also be attracted to the reflective surface of lamps. When they fly around a lamp, they may be attempting to find a way to get to the other side.

Here are some tips for keeping flies away from lamps:

* Turn off the lights: When you're not using a lamp, turn it off to avoid attracting flies.

* Use a lampshade: A lampshade can help to block the light and heat from the lamp, making it less attractive to flies.

* Keep food covered: Flies are attracted to food, so keep food covered when it's not being eaten.

* Use fly traps: Fly traps can be placed near lamps to help trap flies.
