How do i keep flys out of my house without using money?
Question:please help
Answers:
Screens on windows and doors will help. Then there are a few other things that help, without too much cost. If you have access to fresh tomato plants, take a few branches and place them around the room. Flies, Bugs, Spiders and all other kinds of crawling insects stay away if you do this. A drop of Lavender Oil on a cotton ball or a Kleenex tissue, will surely keep them away. You can put a few drops of the oil into a spray bottle with water and spray it around the room. Spray it on your pillow, and or sheets, and you not only keep these insects away but will sleep wonderfully at night. If the flies or mosquitoes are in the room already, close the windows and doors, to keep the fragrance inside, and watch them tumble to the floor, or go and hide. I always take some Lavender oil with me on my travels. I place it around the room when I arrive and by the time I go to sleep, I have a fresh smelling room and bed. I can sleep without the thought that there are any insects that would bother me at night.
You can keep flies away by getting rid of what attracts them. Keep all food put away, trash emptied, counters clean and make sure you have screens on windows and doors. A fly swatter can be a magazine or piece of paper. Everyone you get rid of will not reproduce.....
make sure your screens are good, keep doors and windows shut, make sure you do not have rotting organic material outside..or in, and that your trash is not stored near the house, keep the home and the outside extremely clean at all times, no damp laundry lying around, no trash, no food left out..dishes after each meal with a beach soak for the dish rag if not run thru the washer immed.
none of these involve money...just effort to have a clean safe enviroment
do you have screens? a screen door? if not - it is next to impossible. Keep all food put away don't leave anything out and run a fan constantly- they don't seem to like moving air.
Believe it or not, I read it here. And it works. Fill zip lock bags half full of water and hang them outside your doors. When I told my husband about it, since I didn't believe it, he told me he'd known about it for years. He'd seen a bag of water outside a restaurant door in AR, and asked. Wonder why he never told me? He chases around the house with a swatter, especially at mealtime, and I wouldn't take him on a picnic on a bet.
candles.. that's all i know.. since nowdays there's variety types of aromatic candles, you can use it to perfume your house and kill the flies at the same time.. flies hates the smoke and flies love smelly things.. if your house smells like lavender or vanilla, they'll automatically go away..
Money would not scare the flies away, anyway.
they are often attracted to well poo
is the yard clean?
if you have a hose end sprayer you could try a little bleach in there to spray the yard
if you can manage about $10 the Cutter backyard bug repellent also a hose end sprayer does a great job and can last for weeks
