Now flies never fly into my house! A simple way to get rid of flies for good
With the arrival of spring, as soon as the sun warms up a little more, everything around begins to come to life, including flies that literally climb out of all the crackstrying to get into our house or apartment by all means.
These insects are carriers of various diseases and, in addition, bring a lot of other inconveniences. They bite, sit on food, spreading germs, and contaminate interior items with the products of their vital activity.
During this period, I, like many other people, begin to actively combat these harmful insects. However, many known methods of fighting flies are ineffective or do not save at all from their invasion.
Sticky tapes, which are supposed to actively lure flies, do nothing. Yes, insects stick to them, but it feels like only those flies that randomly sat on them just to take a break from flying. Others continue to fly further, not paying much attention to the tape.
Dichlorvos is also an ineffective way of fighting, because its effect is short-lived and after a few hours, flies reappear in the house. In addition, although many manufacturers write that their dichlorvos is odorless, the stench from them is terrible and you have to go outside until this pungent smell disappears.
One of the more or less effective ways to control flies is anti-mosquito nets. Last year I installed them on almost all windows and some doorways. But even with them, harmful insects somehow managed to get into my house. In addition, over time, these nets tend to break. Personally, I have this constant problem, my cat, trying to get into the house through the open window, often tears the net.
But recently, a friend of mine shared one simple way that helped me get rid of flies forever! It turned out to be so effective that not only flies, but also mosquitoes, as well as other midges, stopped flying into my house altogether, provided that my windows and doors were almost always open.
We take an ordinary sprayer, I think it is available in almost every home.
You also need the most important ingredient - essential oil with a mint scent. It can be bought without any problems at any pharmacy and is inexpensive (you can additionally take oil with the smell of geranium).
Pour clean water into the sprayer, add mint oil (about 5-7 drops per half liter of water, you can also add a few drops of geranium, it goes well with mint) and spray curtains, carpets, windows, the same anti-mosquito mesh. We repeat this procedure every 3-4 days and you will never see flies again, moreover, a pleasant smell will always be present in your house. I don't know why flies don't like mint so much, but they really stopped flying!
