3 Tips to Naturally Get Rid of Flies
Professional treatment of flies and fleas in the house will cost you money however if you are tight on the budget, you can seek some natural techniques. Here are some natural house pest treatment for flies and fleas.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar as Bait
One of the most cost-effective solutions is to use a bowl of apple cider vinegar mixed with dish detergent as bait. Apple cider vinegar gives out a sweet smell that attracts the houseflies and fruit flies. Keep bowls containing the mix of dish detergent and apple cider vinegar in the open in the areas of infestations overnight. You will be able to spot plenty of dead flies and fleas in the bowl by the morning.
2. Lemon and Clove Repellent
To make this natural fly repellent, you need to take two lemons and cut them in half. Insert 10-20 cloves in each of the lemons and keep them on a plate. Let it stay for a while as you watch the flies gather on the plate.
3. Eucalyptus and Clove Oil Repellent
It is one of the best house pest treatments. Take some eucalyptus drops in a cloth and hang the piece of cloth on the door and windows of your house. Alternatively, you can use rubbing alcohol, witch hazel or clove oil and mix them with water. If you want a practical solution, you may use any of the three without adding water. Spray it in every corner of your house to see the effect.
