Natural solutions that really work
No need to buy ten plastic traps to get rid of flies. A simple glass of cider vinegar with a few drops of dish soap already does the job very well. The smell attracts the midges, the liquid traps them. You can place a discreet one in a corner of the kitchen, guaranteed effect.
Another great tip: plant some insect-repellent plants near windows or on the balcony. Basil , mint , and lavender are not only pretty but also effective against insects.
For surface maintenance, consider baking soda mixed with lemon. It cleans thoroughly while leaving a fresh scent, and best of all, it leaves no trace that attracts flies.
Oh, and for those who love home remedies: a small bowl of cloves placed on the work surface can be enough to keep even the most daring away. Natural, simple and safe.
When should you worry (a little)?
One or two flies isn’t a big deal. But if you see dozens of them arriving at once , you need to dig a little deeper. They may have found a quiet spot to lay their eggs, like a forgotten food bag or a damp, poorly cleaned area.
Take a look behind furniture, under appliances, and around trash cans. And if the problem persists, call a professional . Some offer quick diagnostics, which aren’t necessarily expensive, and are especially suitable for homes with children or pets.
The key is not to wait. The sooner you act, the easier it is to regain control.
There you have it, you have all the keys in hand to say “no thank you” to flies… without chemicals, without stress, and with a home that exudes cleanliness.
