Brilio.net - Flies are one of the annoying insects. Why not, flies often fly and land on food. In fact, food that is infested with flies usually becomes unhygienic because it is contaminated with bacteria. Flies can spread various types of diseases, including dysentery, cholera, and salmonella, through contact with contaminated food and surfaces.
To prevent this, there are various ways that can be done. Starting from keeping the house clean to eradicating flies that have spread. When they want to get rid of flies, some people usually make traps in the form of glue.
However, apart from making traps, there are also other ways you can eradicate and get rid of flies at home. An Instagram user @sitikomariahmaria once shared this trick in one of the uploaded videos. He admitted that he only used three kitchen ingredients to repel flies naturally and effectively.

Basically, a number of these ingredients have special ingredients that can repel flies. Vinegar has a very strong and sharp odor that flies don't like. The smell of vinegar can irritate flies' sense of smell, so these insects tend to stay away from areas that have the smell of vinegar.
On the other hand, baking soda has abrasive properties and can be used as a natural cleaner to remove food residue and dirt that can attract flies. Although baking soda does not have a strong odor that can repel flies like vinegar, using baking soda in a vinegar mixture can create a chemical reaction that produces bubbles and carbon dioxide gas. Well, this reaction can have an uncomfortable effect on flies.
But apart from eradicating and repelling flies, you also have to create a clean environment. For example, close the trash can neatly. Clean the kitchen immediately after processing meat or seafood. Well, you can also use aromatherapy candles to prevent flies from entering the house and kitchen.
