Yes, summer is my favourite time of the year. Sadly, the warm weather and ever-present sun bring with it things that aren’t so welcome.
Tanning on a balcony, taking frequent dips in water, walking in the sunshine; these are all things I enjoy. Mosquitoes, flies and other winged pests, however, can kindly return to whatever abyss they arrived from.
Fortunately, there are plenty of tips and tricks to protect your house from mosquitoes. Flies, though? They have a knack for survival, and in the main repellants and fly traps can be expensive and full of chemicals you’d rather not have floating around your living space.
So, it’s a good thing we’ve found a smart, simple and environmentally friendly way to enjoy a fly-free summer.
Read more below to see how you can make 2018 more… fly less.
To construct this homemade fly trap you won’t need much – in fact, you’ll probably have the necessary components at home already.
What you’ll need:
- A heavy-duty freezer bag
- Table salt
- Lime juice
- A few coins
- Water
Combine all the items above in the freezer bag and soon you’ll have a hanging device that’s assuredly a fly’s worst nightmare.
