· Aromatic plants to repel flies
In addition to coriander, other aromatic herbs will have the same repellent effect on flies, but also mosquitoes. Scatter a few leaves of lavender, mint, rosemary, basil or eucalyptus in different areas of the house. You can also use the same method we mentioned above or use essential oils in a spray bottle. Kill two birds with one stone, you will enjoy a pleasant smell at home and at the same time, you will fight against the presence of flies. One thing is certain, if you choose strategic locations, these insects will not be present!
· Vinegar trap to catch flies
Don’t you attract flies with vinegar? It all depends on who we’re talking about. White vinegar, in fact, clearly repels flies with its strong acidic odor. On the other hand, cider vinegar, which is milder, tends to attract them. The idea would therefore be to concoct a fly trap: the trick consists of breaking a bottle of water from the top and pouring four centimeters of cider vinegar over it. Then you need to put the neck of the bottle back on, but upside down this time, in the form of a funnel and open the container, so that the flies penetrate to the vinegar. After a while, this liquid will stun them and they will be trapped inside. It will therefore be very difficult for them to get out again.
NB: it is still possible to combine white vinegar with a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil. Mix everything well and pour the solution into a sprayer. Spray outside on doors and windows. This remedy will act as a clever barrier!
