Let’s talk about stopping them from coming inside. Screens on windows are your first line of defense. Check for tiny holes—flies are like tiny, annoying ninjas. They’ll find the gap.
Take out your trash regularly. I know, it’s Tuesday, but that banana peel is basically a five-star restaurant for flies. And don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight. That’s just an invitation. You’re basically rolling out a red carpet.
How to Naturally Get Rid of Flies Inside and Outside Your Home
The Ultimate Weapon: Fans
Flies are terrible fliers. Turn on a ceiling fan or a box fan near where they’re loitering. They can’t fight the wind. They’ll either be blown into a wall (natural selection, baby) or they’ll get so annoyed they’ll look for another room. Problem solved for zero dollars.
I’ve also seen people use a spray bottle with water and a few drops of peppermint oil. Flies hate the smell. It’s like you’re wearing a cologne they find offensive. Spritz near doors and windows and watch them decide your house is so last season.
