DIY Strategies For Ridding The Home Of Gross Flies

Ginger And Water Spray

Ginger's strong scent and undelightful taste are enough to drive those pesky flies away! This method involves creating a ginger and water spray by adding the two components together. The process of making the mixture is as simple as it sounds. Simply combine ground ginger with water in a spray bottle for an instant spray, or take time to let fresh ginger infuse with the water. When infusing water with fresh ginger, boil some chopped ginger in water over the stove and let the water cool before filling a spray bottle with it. This method was originally tested in farms to be a safe and healthy alternative to harmful pesticides. It protected the farmer's crops as well as lead to all-organic and unharmed crops. This solution works in the home too! Simply spray the mixture onto surfaces with the most flies. This can be the trash can, plants, near fruit bowls, or even near the pantry.

Cayenne Pepper Spray

Cayenne pepper spray is very spicy and even flies cannot withstand the level os heat. To make a cayenne pepper spray, add some cayenne pepper (often one or two teaspoons) to about one cup of water. The quality of the pepper greatly affects how effective the spray will be. Fresh cayenne pepper has the same effect of ground cayenne pepper, but will be potent for a longer duration. The more potent the cayenne pepper spray is, the less it needs to be sprayed to be effective. The smell of pepper in the air can be irritating and cause allergies, and therefore it is recommended to use the spray sparingly and only where necessary. Be sure to avoid letting the spray fall onto any fabric surface, as the scent may remain for some time.
