🌞🌡️ With the UK experiencing a heatwave and temps soaring past 30°C, pesky flies are coming out to play! If you’re looking to enjoy your garden or relax at home without these winged nuisances, we’ve got some easy tricks for you. 🏡🌿
1. **Essential Oil Candles**: Flies despise citronella! Pop a citronella candle on your garden table or near seating areas to keep them at bay. Lavender and pine candles will also do the job, but remember that pine can be toxic to pets. 🕯️✨
2. **Bee-Friendly Gardens**: Invite friendly insects to your garden by planting bee-attracting blooms like lavender, verbena, and catmint. Not only will you help the ecosystem, but bees will naturally keep flies away! 🐝🌸 Plus, more wildlife can mean more natural fly predators, like spiders and frogs.
3. **Fly Traps**: For a quick fix, try using fly tape in areas with lots of activity. Flies love to perch, making these tapes perfect for trapping them before they annoy you. Just ensure you replace them regularly for the best results. 🪰🪤
And here’s a tip for indoors: Flies hate basil and mint! Place these plants on windowsills or doorways as a natural deterrent. 🌿👍
With soaring temperatures, flies multiply quicker, especially around barbecues and kitchens. So, stock up on these simple solutions and keep your home fly-free this summer! 🏖️🍃 How do you keep your space fly-free? Share below! 👇 #FlyFreeHome #SummerHacks #EcoFriendlyGardening
