Brilio.net - Insects are not classified as dangerous animals, but their presence is often disturbing. Especially if they have landed on the food served on the table. Flies are one of the most common types of insects found in dining areas.
When flies appear, many people feel reluctant to eat the food on the table. This is not without reason, considering that flies come from dirty environments. Reported from everydayhealth.com, flies can carry various dangerous bacteria, such as Salmonella, Rotavirus, and Helicobacter pylori, which have the potential to cause diseases such as diarrhea to typhus.
It is no wonder that food that has been infested with flies is often thrown away to avoid health risks. In fact, the food has gone through a difficult cooking process, but in the end it has to be wasted.
To minimize this from happening, you can imitate what a netizen named Yogi Suryono did. In one of his YouTube videos, this netizen shared a practical way to repel flies. Not by spraying them with chemical liquid, but he made a special trap to catch flies on the dining table.
In addition to the easy way to make it, the ingredients needed are also quite simple. Reported by brilio.net from YouTube yogi suryono, Monday (11/3), this netizen even only relies on kitchen waste in the form of 1 large and small used drink bottle. In addition, prepare scissors, screwdrivers, wire, water, and any food as bait.
First, cut the middle part of a large used drink bottle . Make sure the hole you make is the same size as the mouth of the small used drink bottle.

Once done, set it aside. Next, cut the top of a small used drinking bottle. Then attach the piece to the hole in the large used drinking bottle. Set it aside.

Take a large drinking bottle cap. Make a hole by pressing a screwdriver in the middle, then insert the prepared wire.

Now, just put a little bit of food on the end of the wire. This is intended as bait for flies to enter the bottle later.

If so, add a little water then close the bottle as usual. Place the trap on the dining table or anywhere where flies usually fly.
As a result, after being left for a while, the trap that was previously empty now appears to be filled with flies. Flies that have already entered will have difficulty getting out and being free again. That way, the food on the dining table is guaranteed to be safe from the presence of flies.

Tricks for storing food to avoid ants.1. Store in an airtight container.
Use glass or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids to store food. Airtight containers will prevent ants from smelling the food and getting inside.
2. Use adhesive or rubber on the lid of the container.
Adding adhesive such as plastic wrap or using rubber around the lid of the container can provide extra protection to keep ants out.
3. Store in a dry and clean place.
Ants are attracted to food scraps and damp places. Make sure food storage areas are always dry and free of food crumbs.
4. Place food on closed shelves or cabinets.
Placing food in closed cabinets or high shelves can reduce the chances of ants reaching it. Make sure there are no gaps that allow ants to enter.
