If flies are constantly buzzing around your kitchen, here’s how to get rid of them.

No one likes living with flies, as they can be very annoying. This is the best way to get rid of them.

No one likes flies. No one welcomes their presence in the kitchen near food or in the rubbish bin, so they are unwelcome creatures in every corner of the room, regardless of what scent (pleasant or unpleasant) attracted them.

There are those who not only dislike the presence of flies, but also feel disgust towards them and constantly scare them away, preventing their random flight from touching a single square millimetre of food, so that it does not have to be thrown away.

The bad news is that with the arrival of autumn (from late September to early October), these insects become larger and appear everywhere. The gradual cooling and rains attract them, causing them to fly.

These days, they can be quite a nuisance, and obviously, they eventually settle on the bottom of any uncovered plate in the kitchen, so now is the time to fight them.

Although some believe that bags of water hung around the room repel insects with their reflection, this has not been proven. However, placing traps with vinegar and sugar is a proven empirical solution.

Flies are voracious and will land on any street ingredients available to you, so you can make traps to catch them.

For example, to do this, cut a plastic bottle in half and turn it upside down so that a funnel is formed at the bottom, into which you can pour apple cider vinegar or sweetened water.

This will make it difficult for flies to get inside, but it will also be very difficult for them to get out, so they will most likely die inside.

Houseplants

The second effective insect repellent is to place plants in the kitchen that will repel them with their scents.

In general, they hate aromatic plants because of the strong scents they give off, but they have one drawback: some of them do not coincide with the peak season for these insects.

Like mosquitoes and other insects, flies hate citronella, basil, bay leaves, marigolds, sage, mint, lavender, rosemary and wormwood — a wide range of plants.

These plants can be placed on window sills to prevent them from entering, or spread out on the countertop to deter their presence and decorate the space.

In fact, using these plants will also allow you to add a decorative and fragrant touch to your kitchen, so using them is a win-win option.
