House flies be gone. There’s nothing worse than hearing the tell-tale buzzing of a fly and watching as it so effortlessly glides into the house, but then simply refuses to fly back out again through the window.
The pests aren’t just a nuisance. They’re also unhygienic, with scientists warning that common houseflies carry salmonella, e-coli and even bacteria which can lead to sepsis. That’s why the increased number of house flies appearing in homes during the summer isn't welcomed by most.
Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to stop flies favouring your home – and they’re all pretty quick and easy fixes:
- Change your cleaning routine
- Bottle traps
- Fragranced garden plants
- Apple cider vinegar
