Salt is an effective remedy for house-flies

Don't apply this method on your plants please, it may effect differently for sure.

@DaddyEvil You have given too much work for her.

Tiara, don't put salt into your houseplants! Salt will kill plants very quickly! If you have those little flying gnats you can kill them by letting your plants get too dry for a few days and then watering them. If you have bugs on your houseplants you can kill them by mixing up a weak solution of dish soap and water in a spray bottle and misting your plants thoroughly. About an hour or so after you spray the plants with soapy water you set your plants in a protected area and pour clean water into the soil, avoiding rinsing your plants. You do want enough clean water to rinse soapy water out of the soil or your plants may have a problem from the treatment. (I have poured a gallon of water into smaller pots to rinse the solution out of the soil and larger amounts in bigger pots.) Make sure your plants drain well before taking them back where you normally keep them.

@Shavkat Yes, we have to be more careful.

But the commercial sprays may have side effects for us too.

@Sreekala I do agree on that. This can be done with extra care.

They have not entered in my kitchen if so then it would be disgusting for sure. House flies are common here in rainy season.

But you have to buy it, and salt is easily available in your kitchen Thanks for sharing your tip

@Sreekala yea, salt ain't free either, bud. Just saying. Hava good one, bud..(*_*)

@shikharava Surely. Thank you.

Really good for you. When you see one please remember the tip

@dollaboy So nice of you.

@Sreekala Will Do Sreekala

Thanks for the appreciation.

@Sreekala

I also noticed the floor is shining than other days.

Phenol won't work against flies usually. Thankfully my office is not attacked yet.

I haven't heard about fly paper. Salt seems to be easy for me. I have to clean the floor, so adding some salt in the water is not a big deal.

If carpets is there then you can't follow this method. Sprinkle salt water also helps but salt water may damage your carpet.

We too nothing have to drawn files inside house. But out, where the garbage is keeping, is attracted especially once the boy comes for picking the same. He created a mess every time and I have to clean it the whole place. A small boy is coming to collect it and he is too small to hold the same. So you can guess the mess.

@DaddyEvil I asked to the boy who send him to collect it. Usually a bigger boy is coming and there was no problem. I do not appreciate when small children arrive to collect the garbage.

@Sreekala Oh, my! Yes, I am sure that would create a draw for flies! It is too bad he is too small to collect your trash correctly! Our garbage bin is kept at a distance from our house. It is a pain for me to carry the trash 1/2 block from our house to place it in the receptacle, but I like that there are no flies drawn close to our house!

If you are not disturbed with flies then you are lucky.

They are annoying too, so we need some remedies.

Ants are not seen here in this place. But in our native there are different varieties of ants.

That is a great precaution and I am glad you will never get disturbed with flies. Here they won't come inside home.
