Have you noticed more flies around your home?
You might be right, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has released nearly 400 million sterile flies in Texas since the start of the year in an effort to eradicate the New World Screwworm (NWS) outbreak.
The majority of the sterile flies have been released along the Texas-Mexican border and in counties where there have been confirmed cases of NWS.
