Ideas and tricks to scare away flies

We have always had small invaders at home that usually bother us… flies. Although we try by all means to keep them away from homes, occasionally, especially in the warmer seasons, they return. So let’s see how to remove them with simple craft ideas.

Aromatic plants to repel flies
As we know, nature always provides us with the solution to our daily problems, such as in our case the summer invasion of flies, insects that usually invade our homes, land on our food and make messes everywhere.

So let’s see how to use the coriander plant to prepare our first remedy. It will be enough to place a glass of water with a few sprigs of cilantro in our dining room to scare away the flies, since as we know, they do not like the smell of this aromatic plant.

But in nature there are other plants that come to our rescue, such as rosemary, mint, lavender, eucalyptus. You only need to equip yourself with the essential oils of these plants and a spray bottle to scare away the flies and at the same time have a very pleasant smell that spreads throughout the house.

Vinegar as a trap
We can also think about the white vinegar trap remedy. In this case, just break the neck of a bottle, moisten it with 4 cl of vinegar, turn the neck of the bottle upside down to form a funnel and wait. When the flies come into contact with the vinegar, they will be stunned and will no longer be able to leave.

Finally, as a last resort, we can think of using a lemon, cutting it in half, inserting cloves and placing it near the windows. The smell of lemon will repel flies.

These are some natural remedies that are easy to apply, but we must always remember that flies are attracted to food scraps, waste, crumbs, and stagnant water. That is why it is essential to always remember to keep the house clean.
