How to get rid of flies in the house

Getting Rid of Flies in Your Home

Flies and flying insects can be real pests around the home, particularly if in large numbers. However, some species of fly also transmit a wide range of diseases including salmonella, dysentery, tuberculosis, cholera and parasitic worms. In this country, mosquitoes are less likely to spread disease than in the tropics, but the irritation caused by the bites can still be distressing, particularly for children.

Know How To Get Rid of Flies

It is important not to attract flies with food sources or places for fly larvae to grow. The simple steps below will help to get rid of flies:
After dark, keep windows and doors closed or block out the light with curtains
Fit fly screens to windows especially around kitchen and waste areas
Always cover food - flies spread diseases by landing on food before we eat it
Clear away food and liquid spillage's immediately
Clean food debris from under kitchen appliances
Make sure all rubbish bins have tightly sealed lids
Keep compost enclosed and covered
Clean up after pets - not only are faeces the perfect breeding place for flies but also somewhere a fly may land before landing on your food
Clear up dead bodies of flies as they provide a tasty snack for other pests, such as carpet beetles

There is also a range of DIY fly products available to kill flies, such as fly spray and fly repellent, but an established fly problem will require professional help to get rid of flies effectively.

 Second step

• Take a sweet and ripe apple (any kind)
• Take 30 –50 cloves.
• Poke the cloves randomly into the apple
• Place the newly clove-decorated apple on a plate and place it in the middle of the picnic table.
• Watch. You will be amazed to see how all of a sudden all the flies disappear in a short time. They simply hate the subtle smell of the cloves^[1] and will never come again to “share your meal" as long as you have this ornamental clove apple on the table. Enjoy your food.
