To help you get rid of these bugs and the dangers they can bring, we'll show you some very simple alternatives that you can try at home at any time.

The easiest way to get rid of them is using rock salt. The ingredient is great for scaring away cockroaches, other mosquitoes and moths. To make this recipe, you will need coarse salt and cloves. Put everything in a glass jar, preferably without a lid. Finally, cover the pot with alcohol gel. Place it where flies are most likely to be. It's good to make more than one pot, huh?

And the good thing about this “recipe” is that the use of coarse salt eliminates odors from any environment.

How to avoid flies at home

• Avoid the accumulation of garbage inside the house, as they love garbage and decaying food, so don't take too long to remove dirt, packaging and leftovers from your kitchen;
• Always change your sponges and dish towels, as both accumulate a lot of moisture, which is perfect for the proliferation of bacteria and fungi. All of this ends up attracting flies to your home;
• Do not leave dishes accumulated in the sink, as this fills the kitchen with these animals. So, always try to keep your sink clean and organized.
