It is true that it is not pleasant to eat and to have these insects on the food...
Especially since these flying insects are full of bacteria and spend their time on droppings...
Fortunately, there are simple and effective tips to keep flies away naturally.
No need to use chemicals that are dangerous for your health and those of children and animals.
Here are 5 remedies to eliminate flies outside and regain your serenity . Watch:
Flies can't fly when there are strong air currents.
So what better than a fan to scare them away?
Nothing could be simpler!
Just plug a fan into an extension cord and put it near the barbecue, table or patio.
As soon as the flies feel the wind blowing on them, they will quickly clear off!
It is a natural and proven trick. So test it quickly.
Fly traps are also effective for getting rid of flies outdoors.
For this, take a jar and put 50 g of sugar in 150 ml of water.
Make a cone with an A4 sheet and put a piece of tape to hold it in place.
Place the cone-shaped leaf in the jar, leaving 1-2 cm at the bottom.
The flies will be attracted by the sugar water and fall into the trap without being able to get out.
You can place this trap directly on the table for quiet eating.
It also works with apple cider vinegar.
Yes, citronella doesn't just keep mosquitoes away!
It also works for flies.
Lemongrass essential oil is very potent and insects hate this smell.
For this, take a large orange and cut it in half.
Empty the 2 halves to keep only the skin.
On the part that serves as the lid, cut a chimney wide enough to plant cloves all around the chimney.
Put a tealight candle in the lower part and add at least 10 drops of citronella essential oil on the candle.
Now all you have to do is light the candle and put the lid on.
Place several of these DIY candles around you to eat in the garden without being bothered.
Nothing is more satisfying than electrifying a fly that spends its time landing on food!
How to kill flies quickly and easily?
The best is to use an electric racket like this one.
These snowshoes are safe but extremely effective against flies.
Plus, it's fun for the kids and so everyone is quiet.
There's even a light on it to kill flies in the evening when it's dark.
Instead of buying fly tape which is toxic, make it yourself.
To do this, pour 50 ml of liquid honey, 50 ml of sugar and 50 ml of water into a saucepan.
Heat everything over low heat and mix well to obtain a creamy texture, but not too liquid.
Let the mixture cool a bit and cut strips of card stock 5cm wide and at least 30cm long.
Punch a hole at the end of each strip and pass a string through it.
Dip each strip of paper into the mixture so that it is well coated on each side.
Hang your strips above a newspaper for 30 min.
Once the strips are dry, hang the strips on the terrace for example.
Once you apply the tips above, avoid bringing the flies back!
How? 'Or' What ? To do this, here are 5 essential tips:
- Keep your garden clean: flies love trash and trash. So avoid leaving garbage cans outside and clean your barbecue after using it with this trick. Also remember to remove the droppings as soon as your dog relieves himself outside. Also put a lid on your compost or vermicomposter.
- Plant fly weeds: plant plants and herbs that repel flies. Which should you plant? Surround your patio and barbecue with pots of basil, lavender and mint. Find other fly control plants to grow here.
- Don't leave standing water in the garden: as with mosquitoes, it is important to avoid having puddles in the garden. Why ? Because flies need to drink water and are therefore attracted to puddles. Don't let your watering cans puddle.
- Mow your lawn regularly: flies very often lay their eggs in tall grass. Why ? Because they offer them humidity and protection. To prevent flies from laying eggs in your garden, mow your lawn weekly during the summer to prevent an infestation.
