For me, the flies have never been a serious problem. The plot is well maintained, there is no garbage dumps, compost pit is far away from residential buildings. They just nowhere to take. Until then, until the summer came in 2009, when a neighbor became massively to fertilize the soil. Here then they flew. And not only him, but also to anyone who is nearby.
These nasty insects filled the house, and all the makeshift rest area. A large number of them, very frustrating, but the main problem was to sanitation. As I found out, flies carry a lot of bacteria, some of whom are agents of diseases such as:
- Tuberculosis;
- Cholera;
- Typhoid fever;
- Diarrhea;
- Many other infectious diseases, the name of which I can not remember.
A large number of these insects pose a serious risk to human health. Everything is complicated by the fact that the flies land on the food table and dishes. So bring the infection there is no difficulty.
At first I tried to cover the food and fine mesh gauze. But the flies from it not become less. Therefore, it was necessary to resort to the purchase of sticky tape. Hung it in front, next to the utensils, over the stove and in the middle of a makeshift. A few days later the belt have become a terrible picture. Flies are fewer, but the problem is not solved.
It was necessary to urgently do something. Merged with a neighbor who lives diagonally and began to look for ways to solve the problem. We have tried many things, but ultimately helped natural repellents. These are the plants and substances which repel insects, their smell.
I'll tell more.
The essence of my method
The method is very simple - to scare away flies smell that they can not tolerate. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that there is no one universal repellent. We'll have to use a lot of different plants and even oil. On the other hand, this method has many advantages:
- He absolutely is natural;
- Harmless to humans, animals and plants;
- Not worth virtually no money;
- Available to any gardeners.
Now, in order that needs to be done. Our task is to spread odors in all areas of habitat and the approach of flies.
- From getting flies in windows and vents perfectly suited geranium, basil and castor. They can be grown in pots on the windowsill or hang dry along the window perimeter;
- Table You can protect a bunch of common wildflowers. And beautiful and practical;
- By shelves and drawers You can decompose odorous myrtle twigs, mint, lavender and elderberry;
- IN a recreation area and at the entranceBetter arrange a bed of marigolds. Their smell will scare away the flies still on approach to the summer kitchen;
- Doorframes, shelves, doors and tables It can be wiped with a laurel oil. Suffice it to 2-3 treatments in the season.
This comprehensive protection facilities will help scare away the flies still on approach to the summer kitchen or home. It is much better than to destroy the insects have already flown.
This cheap and natural method has proved to be extremely effective. If we expand the plant carefully, it will look neat and tidy and unobtrusive.
