Have you tried everything but flies keep buzzing and flying around your kitchen? An expert explains how to eliminate them by making a trap that will cost you less than 4 euros.
You love summer, but less the flies that go with it… As soon as the good weather arrives, you go fly hunting, swatter in hand! You don’t want to resort to repellents and have tried a number of natural techniques, but nothing works, they keep coming back to find food in your house. The good news, it is possible to make a trap easily, with natural products, which is very effective against flies both indoors and outdoors, for less than 4 euros according to a pest control expert, questioned by the English newspaper The Express.
For this expert, who works for the specialized company Rentokil, getting rid of flies is very important because they are “disease carriers”. Here is the step by step of the trap to make with only three basic foods that you may already have at home. You will need dish soap, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
- Fill a bowl halfway with apple cider vinegar.
- Add a few drops of honey and a few drops of dish soap.
- Mix well.
- Wrap the bowl in cling film (it should be tight).
- With a fork, poke holes in the plastic. The holes should be large enough for the flies to pass through.
- Place the trap in the kitchen for example.
The flies will be attracted to the mixture, and once in the bowl, they will be trapped in the sticky liquid and will not be able to come out. Do not hesitate to make several traps to put in different rooms, and even on your terrace. Good to know: if you don’t have honey, don’t hesitate to replace it with wine, it’s just as effective.
