Having midges (or fruit flies) in your kitchen can be particularly annoying, even a little disgusting. Fortunately, it is easy to get rid of these little insects by following a few simple rules. And without resorting to chemicals: expensive, harmful to your respiratory tract and bad for the environment.
Here’s a grandmother’s tip to get rid of these unwanted people.
The smell of cloves is quite strong. She can’t stand the flies that flee from her! This tip is even more effective at repelling flies if you plant the cloves on half a lemon or onion.
Put a good dozen and choose good quality cloves so that they smell good.
Instruction
- Cut a lemon in half.
- Prick each of the two parts with around fifteen cloves.
- Put half a lemon in each piece.
- And there you have it, you are now at peace: no more flies come to bother you. Lemon and cloves are a very effective natural fly repellent.
- The lemon pulp takes on a strange brownish color after a few days.
