Flies are more than an annoyance — they can contaminate food and spread bacteria throughout your home. The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals to get rid of them. These natural, pet-safe methods offer fast relief and long-lasting prevention.
1. Clean the Hotspots Flies Love
Flies flock to moisture, food scraps, and odors. Keep your kitchen fly-free by:
-
wiping counters with vinegar
-
cleaning drains weekly
-
keeping fruit refrigerated
-
sealing trash bags tightly
A clean environment removes 80% of what attracts flies.
2. Use Citrus, Herbs & Essential Oils
Flies hate strong natural scents like:
-
lemon & cloves
-
peppermint oil
-
eucalyptus
-
basil and lavender plants
Place these near windows, sinks, and doors for a chemical-free fly barrier.
3. Make a Simple DIY Fly Trap
This classic trap works fast:
-
Add apple cider vinegar to a jar
-
Add dish soap
-
Cover with plastic wrap & poke holes
Flies enter — but can’t escape.
4. Fix Entry Points
Check screens, open vents, and gaps around windows. Even tiny openings let flies in. Seal or replace damaged screens to stop them before they enter.
5. Use a Natural Fly Repellent Spray
When flies are persistent, a safe spray gives fast relief.
Nature’s Dome Pest Control Spray uses peppermint, clove, and lemongrass oils to repel flies without toxins — safe for pets, kids, and kitchen areas.
