Brilio.net - The presence of flies in the house is something that is annoying and makes you dirty. How could it not be, this insect usually lands on rubbish and food. In fact, as reported by hellosehat.com, flies transmit various diseases to humans, by carrying various pathogens that stick to their bodies. That way, food that has already been infested with flies is no longer suitable for consumption.
Reporting from Healthline.com, in many cases, the appearance of flies often results in diseases such as food poisoning, cholera, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, eye infections, dysentery , and many more.
To overcome this, a number of people immediately spray insecticide to repel flies. Even though it is effective in making flies go away, insecticide sprayed also carries the risk of contaminating food. Of course, the ingredients in insect medicine also have a bad effect on the body when the food has already been consumed. There are also those who use fly glue, but the effect is less than optimal.
As a solution, you can get rid of flies using natural methods. As did Instagram user @dapuremamarini. In his video upload, this netizen appears to be relying on natural ingredients he already has in his house. Curious about how?
