Question

my house is clean no dishes are left lying around, the fruit bowl is covered and the bin is emptied every day

all answers welcome

Answer 1

Clean out a small tin with a lid.

Take a clean piece of cloth or a small piece of dish sponge able to fit into the container.

Saturate it with one of the following oils:

Lavender oil - lavender is considered to be particularly effective against flies

Citronella oil (dilute with water first)

Eucalyptus oil (dilute with water first)

Pennyroyal oil (dilute with water first)

Peppermint oil (dilute with water first; likely more effective against mosquitoes but also considered to work against horse-flies)

Lemongrass oil (dilute with water first)

Place the cloth in the tin and shut the lid. Allow to sit for 24 hours.

Use. Whenever you need to use the tin, remove the lid and place on the entertaining table. Make as many as you wish to put around the entertaining area to deter flies.

Replenish the oil after each use; once open to the air, the strength weakens and needs to be topped up

Answer 3

Hi

Unfortunately there are a lot of them about when the weather is hot & there is no way you can stop them from coming in if you leave the windows open.

you could fit fly screens but they are a bit unsightly.

you could try experimenting with other products to see how well they work,  You can get plug in type air-fresheners that are anti-mosquito etc. they slowly release insect repellent as well as different smells

(which hopefully the flies dont like)

Answer 4

try getting a screen for your door.

by some raid for flies or something

and keep your fruits protected in plastic or something.

Answer 5

The best thing you can get, but it can be hard to find is Vapona stands. They are about 6 inches tall, and have a fly, bee, and wasp killer in it. It opens up like an old fashioned air freshner, stick it somewhere inconspicuous but where it has good air circulation, and soon they will all be dead!

The window stickers are still good though.

Answer 6

get screen covered windows. Shut the door. and grab a fly swatter.  

Answer 7

I hate those b******s! Flies are the devils creation. Just kill them all! Kill them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

you haven't got a body under the floors have you

Answer 9

This is to be expected at this time of year. the only 100% solution is to fit fly screens or keep your windows closed.
