Flies can be quite annoying during the summer months. Although we are mostly focused on chemicals and other types of repellants, there are also natural methods that are just as effective. Let's take a look at three simple and natural ways to repel flies from the apartment.
Everyone wants to enjoy the peace of their home without the annoying buzzing of flies. But driving flies out of the apartment is an extremely annoying task. Although there are many chemicals available that promise quick fixes, natural methods can provide a kinder alternative for both you and the environment. In this article, we present three natural ways that you can effectively keep flies away from your home.
Cloves with lemon
One of the most popular natural methods to repel flies involves the use of cloves and lemon. The method is simple: cut a lemon in half and insert six to twelve cloves into each half. Arranged lemons can be placed on tables or shelves where flies tend to hang out. This method not only effectively repels flies, but also pleasantly smells the room.
Basil and other plants
Many plants have natural properties that repel flies. Among the most effective are basil, mint, wormwood and calendula. These plants can be grown on windowsills or in pots around the home. In addition, you can also use the dried leaves of these plants, tie them in transparent bags and distribute them around the premises.
Homemade traps and sprays
If you already have flies in your apartment, you can prepare homemade traps. For example, plastic bags filled with water hang from entrances and windows. Flies perceive them as large bodies of water and like to avoid them. For a more active solution, you can prepare a lemongrass spray. You need 10 to 12 drops of lemongrass essential oil, four tablespoons of warm water and a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on entrances and windows where flies appear.
Fans
Fans are a great way to repel flies as they don't like windy conditions. There are several types of fans on the market that are specifically designed to repel flies, using different techniques such as holographic dots on the blades to confuse and repel flies. These fans are especially useful in places where we gather for meals or socializing outdoors, as they prevent flies from landing on food. Fly repellent fans are easy to use, chemical free and safe to use in family areas.
