Ranking of the best fly repellents for 2022

In summer, everything is fine, except for annoying insects. And if there are no special problems with mosquitoes in the house (thanks to mosquito nets), then things are more complicated with flies. They manage to fly into the ajar doors and windows.

What are the remedies for flies

There are a lot of drugs now - from ordinary adhesive tapes to ultrasonic emitters.The latter, by the way, despite the loud statements of manufacturers, are mostly useless. Therefore, it is much more reliable and cheaper to use special baits or household chemicals in the form of solutions or aerosols.
When choosing, consider the following points:

• crayons and gels are more suitable for the destruction of cockroaches, ants, such agents are ineffective against flying insects;
• toxicity - most drugs can harm pets;
• ease of use - if you do not want to prepare a solution from a powder, choose ready-to-use insecticides (baits or sprays).

As for special traps made of plastic or mesh, you can make a similar one yourself from an ordinary plastic bottle. All you need to do is cut off the neck and insert the resulting funnel into a plastic container. Sugar syrup or overripe fruit can be used as bait. Flies will easily fly through the neck of the funnel, but they will not be able to get back.

It is believed that fly agaric helps very well - just lay out cardboard boxes with chopped mushrooms in places where winged parasites accumulate, the main thing is that children or pets do not get to the bait. To destroy insects in the garden, special smoke bombs or flycatchers-fumigators are used.

If we talk about prevention, then the timely disposal of household waste will help to avoid the invasion of buzzing parasites. Spoiled fruits and food are excellent bait for flies. In a private house, it is worth keeping the local area clean, monitoring the condition of the cesspool.

Safe home remedies

If you categorically do not accept chemistry, try using the products that are in any home:

• vinegar (it is better to take apple) - pour into any containers (metal lids from cans with blanks will fit) or spread slices of bread soaked in vinegar on the windowsills;
• lavender - helps not only from moths, it turns out that midges do not tolerate its smell (you can use fresh or dry, in the form of a sachet);
• clove (spice) - just put a few buds on a saucer and leave it on the table, and if you stick a clove in half a fresh lemon, the deterrent effect will increase many times over;
• essential oils of myrtle or laurel (provided that no one at home has allergies) - lubricate door and window openings;
• elderberry or fern branches, tansy inflorescences - you just need to spread them out on the windowsills;
• get a geranium - the smell of flowers repels midges;
• ordinary red rowan will destroy flies in an hour, and juniper in 3-4 hours.
• aloe juice or a decoction of pine cones also work well.

Ordinary adhesive tape traps can be replaced with homemade ones. Strips of thick paper or cardboard are moistened in thick sugar syrup and hung in places where insects accumulate. The effect will be no worse (the flies will also stick), plus such traps are absolutely safe for pets.

Starch and sugar syrup will help get rid of flies on the site - just mix the components to a paste and place them in strategic places in the evening (near the barbecue, next to the toilet or compost heap). Flies, attracted by the sweet smell, will get bogged down in the sticky mass and will definitely not be disturbed during the day.

If you know how to handle a tool and unnecessary wooden blocks and a fine mesh are lying around on the farm, you can build a flycatcher. In fact, this is an ordinary box with a closing lid and a cone-shaped bottom (the top of the cone is directed upwards).A small hole is made in the lid, into which midges can fly freely, and bait is placed on the bottom - the same sugar or a ready-made insecticide.
