Tired of being invaded by flies constantly? We stop bothering and get intoxicated with sprays and other sprays not at all natural trade. Instead, we concoct home remedies natural, easy to make and super effective, to keep as far as possible from the house the pests.

We opt for the room fragrance

As often, essential oils save us life! We choose a true lavender essential oil, well supported by the whole family, but not really appreciated by flies. You can also opt for citronella java, to broadcast for 15 min, every 4-5 hours in the living rooms (living room, kitchen). The other advantage of this essential oil? It is also super effective against mosquitoes! Practice to kill two birds with one stone! Be careful not to suffocate by ventilating the house between each broadcast.

We make a homemade spray

For a more targeted action, we dilute 5 to 10% of essential oil of citronella java in an alcoholic base by adding 3-4 drops of peppermint (also very effective against headache) . And then, we spray the mixture in the house, on the top of the curtains for example. The mixture can also be poured on pebbles or perfume bags to be placed in cupboards or shelves. But we always avoid the rooms and especially in the presence of young children or pregnant women.

And if you have declared war on pests, know that there are other natural solutions to ward off wasps, bees or hornets.
