Fly invasions in your home are not inevitable!
Know that these invasive and often filthy insects can be defeated.
And for that there is no need to use industrial products, each one more expensive than the other and which, in addition, are not good for your health.
Just apply some simple and eco-friendly tricks to get rid of it easily.
Want to know how? Here are 7 quick and natural tips to rid your home of flies. Watch:
The first thing to do to prevent flies from attacking your home is to see how they do and avoid offering them a feast!
Nothing is more attractive for these insects than to contemplate dirty dishes, trash cans and compost bins without lids or half-empty animal bowls.
It's like leaving candy within reach of a child.
So, so that your home no longer turns into a canteen for flies, go around the house room by room and clear everything that can attract them.
Do this trick at least once a week (or even twice for even more efficiency), for example when you take out the trash or when you do the housework.
If there is one thing you need to do urgently when you have a pet, it's to take care of its droppings!
It's obviously not what we prefer, but be sure it's the best way to avoid the proliferation of flies.
Know that on average, these insects lay between 75 and 150 eggs at a time. And you know where they prefer to do it?
Mainly in the poop!
Knowing that the eggs hatch in just 24 hours, you will see 150 new flies appear overnight in each droppings of your animal!
It is therefore very necessary to frequently pick up the excrement of your pets to put them in the trash.
Also remember to clean the dog's basket, the cat's litter box and the rabbit's cage.
With the opening or closing of the doors of the house, it is normal for a few flies to infiltrate your home.
But if their number becomes too large, there is a fault somewhere! Then you must be wondering how they get into your home.
To start, make sure your mosquito nets are not torn in places. If they are damaged, repair or replace them.
Then examine the caulking of all doors and windows in the house.
If the caulking is in poor condition or relatively old, that may be why flies are able to enter your home.
Finally, make sure you have the seals around the doors in perfect condition.
If this is not the case, put a coat of putty again to properly isolate your house from flies.
It's summer, the weather is nice and you want to eat quietly on your terrace or patio.
Except that after a few minutes, other surprise guests invite themselves to your meal; it's not about friends, but about annoying and annoying flies.
Strike back by making a homemade fly trap!
Take an empty plastic bottle, rinse it with hot water and remove its cap.
Cut your bottle in half with scissors. Turn the top part over and press it into the bottom part to act as a funnel.
Fix the 2 parts with adhesive tape after pouring a mixture of 200 ml of water and 50 g of brown sugar.
This little trick will allow you to keep flies away and you will finally be at peace! Check out the trick here.
So yes, we will all agree that fly paper is super ugly.
However, it is one of the most effective traps to get rid of these insects!
Nothing better then to get this adhesive tape in store, on the internet or to make it yourself.
To make the fly paper, you will need card stock, string to hang the trap, corn syrup, and sugar.
Simply mix the ingredients and spread them on the card stock. Perforate the paper on one end and attach it to the places that flies prefer.
You will only have to contemplate the result by seeing the flies flocking to the trap. Discover the tutorial here.

In addition, by implementing this trick, you combine business with pleasure.

Then spray the places most frequented by flies like the kitchen and pass your mixture around the doors.
Thus, you will repel the invasion of flies.
