Summer brings with it sun, heat and… flies! These annoying visitors can transform a quiet day into a nightmare. However, there are natural and effective methods to keep them away from your home without resorting to chemicals. Here we tell you the best tricks to scare away flies and keep your space clean and fresh.
1. The trick with the glass of water and coriander
Although it may sound unusual, this method is simple and effective:
- What you need: A glass of water and a few sprigs of fresh coriander.
- How to do it: Fill a glass with water, add the cilantro, and place it on your table or near food. Flies can’t stand the smell of cilantro and will stay away.
- Bonus Tip: If you don’t have cilantro, you can use basil or lavender, which also work as natural repellents.
2. Aromatic plants: natural repellents
In addition to cilantro, other aromatic herbs such as mint, rosemary, basil, eucalyptus, and lavender are great allies to repel insects.
