A homeowner recommended two to three teaspoons of it, but there&#8217;s no exact number. Though it resembles clear water, its effectiveness lasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then, mix all of that together with a spoon.<\/strong> Carefully tip the mixture into a plastic sandwich bag until it\u2019s almost full. But before you zip the bag shut, drop in your pennies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, combine these ingredients with a spoon.<\/strong> Pour the mixture into the sandwich bag, almost filling it. Put in your pennies in it before zipping it up. With that, you have a home-made, anti-fly device.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your anti-fly device is ready.<\/strong> All you have to do is hang it around your BBQ. To do this, bend a paper clip and stick the end to the back. Everyone agrees that it works.<\/p>\n<h2>More Ways to Keep Flies Away<\/h2>\n<p>There are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thanet.gov.uk\/your-services\/environmental-health\/pest-control\/flies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ways<\/a> to get rid of flies if you stretch your imagination and use what&#8217;s around you.<\/p>\n<h4>1 . Plastic Water Bags<\/h4>\n<p>Plastic water bags are a simple, yet foolproof way to rid your surroundings of pesky flies. All you have to do is fill a plastic bag with water. Though this remedy may seem too straightforward to work, it does.<\/p>\n<p>The flies will see the water bags as traps and not go near them. Furthermore, the water reflects light, which will disorient them.<\/p>\n<p>You need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gallon-sized clear plastic bags<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steps:<\/p>\n<p>First of all, <strong>half-fill<\/strong> the plastic bags with water. Then, knot them at the mouth to secure them. Finally, <strong>hang them at your entryways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Apple Cider Vinegar<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/10-unexpected-yet-amazing-uses-for-apple-cider-vinegar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Cider Vinegar<\/a> is particularly useful for getting rid of fruit flies because it produces a &#8216;fermented&#8217; smell. Flies can&#8217;t resist the smell of fermented apples, especially when they&#8217;re heated up.<\/p>\n<p>You will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 cup Apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n<li>A Glass Jar<\/li>\n<li>Paper funnel<\/li>\n<li>Steps:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>First of all, heat up the apple cider in the microwave<\/strong>. You may choose to use a jar with or without a lid. If you&#8217;re using one with a lid, create a few holes on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make them big enough for flies to enter<\/strong>. You may use a funnel as well. If you can&#8217;t find one, make one out of paper. Fold the paper into the shape of a cone and staple it. Make sure that there&#8217;s a hole at the end.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fill the jar with Apple Cider Vinegar and place it where the flies are<\/b>. They will fly into the jar because the odor of the cider attracts them. They become trapped once inside.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Homemade lavender fly repellent<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/lavender-lemonade-stop-anxiety-headaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lavender<\/a> oil is another way to get rid of flies. This oil owes its popularity to its nerve-calming qualities. It will please you to know that it not only soothes nerves but also chases flies away. Here&#8217;s how you make lavender oil fly repellent.<\/p>\n<p>What you need<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">1\/2 cup lavender oil<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">A tin can with a lid<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">A dish sponge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First of all, <b>dip the sponge in the oil<\/b>. Then, put it in the can and leave it for 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take off the lid after 24 hours and leave it where most flies go<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, replenish the oil regularly as the air weakens it.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Use cloves to repel flies<\/h4>\n<p>Everyone loves the smell of cloves in their kitchens, but flies don&#8217;t. Cloves, combined with lemon, are effective fly repellents.<\/p>\n<p>You will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Lemons<\/li>\n<li>And 25 to 50 cloves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steps:<\/p>\n<p>Halve the lemons.<\/p>\n<p><b>First, jab six to twelve cloves into each half<\/b>. Then, make sure to poke with the <strong>pointed end<\/strong>. The bud should face upwards.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, put the<b> lemons on a plate<\/b>. They should serve as an attractive table centerpiece.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Lemongrass spray<\/h4>\n<p>Try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/lemongrass-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lemongrass<\/a> spray if you want an aromatic repellent. It works because it chases flies away. It also keeps your home smelling fresh.<\/p>\n<p>You will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>12 drops essential oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup hot water<\/li>\n<li>A spray bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>First of all, pour the lemongrass essential oil into the spray bottle<\/b>. Then, pour hot water <b>over the oil<\/b>. Shake the bottle, and make sure to mix both ingredients. Finally, spray the solution where there are the most flies.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Use Wine<\/h4>\n<p>You may balk at using wine if you are a connoisseur, but it&#8217;s a foolproof remedy nonetheless. Your favorite drink makes an efficient flytrap. Just put a glass of wine where there are many flies. You&#8217;ll see them float in it after a time. Wine is a fermented drink, so it attracts them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are many ways to get rid of flies. You only need to use the things around you. Also, a little ingenuity helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there&#8217;s one thing everyone wants to know in the summertime, it&#8217;s how to get rid of flies.
