What is a home remedy for getting rid of flies?

Answer 1

Diluted lemon, soap, and vinegar sprays are all home remedies for eliminating fruit flies and gnats. Their effective cleaning, fresh smell, and no fuss/no muss applications encourage their users to keep home exteriors and interiors clear of the unrepaired crevices and unswept crumbs which draw fruit flies and gnats into interactions with people and their possessions. Fruit fly and gnat control strategies work when attention is paid to eliminating accessible sources of food and shelter.

Answer 2

Either way, this insecticide is considered a safe, organic, natural, easy fly control that tends to be of low toxicity and irritability to mammals.

Answer 3

Soap-and-water sprays and controlling moisture levels are home remedies for getting rid of gnats.

The soap that is used for washing dishes in the sink, not in the dishwasher, is what is mixed with water. Generally, the ratio is one teaspoon or tablespoon of soap to one cup or quart of water, depending upon the desired potency and the seriousness of the infestation. Also, generally, gnats are found in moist houses. So a search needs to be made for any drainage problems, leaks or standing water in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
