[ENG] 5 natural ways to get rid of flies

To get rid of flies, we just have to use their sense of smell to make traps or repellents.

 

1. WINE 

How to do ? 

1. Pour a half cup of wine in a glass 
2. Add dish soap 
3. Place the glass strategically 

Once the flies fallen in the glass, they can't escape from it anymore. 

 

2. GARLIC 

How to do ? 

1. Realize a garlic decoction 
2. Place the liquid on the windows outline 

 

3. CIDER VINEGAR 

How to do ? 

1. Warm up cider vinegar 
2. Place it in a jar with a lid 
3. Make big enough holes in the lid so that the flies can enter it

Attracted by the vinegar smell, the flies will enter the jar and once inside, they will be trapped and won't be able to get out anymore. 

 

4. CITRONELLA ESSENTIAL OIL 

How to do ? 

1. Pour 10 to 12 drops of citronella essential oil in a spray 
2. Complete with hot water 
3. Mix 
4. Then pulverize your doors and windows with this mixture 

 

5. CLOVES 

How to do ? 

1. Plant cloves in 1 onion or 1 lemon 
2. Place it in the concerned room
