Insect Control Devices

Popular devices that facilitate the fight against insects:

Insects are affected by ultrasonic waves. Such a device is effective indoors, it is not used in an open area. It is best suited for a house or apartment. Flies do not approach the source of ultrasound, and a person does not feel the influence of the device at all.

street traps

They can be installed in the courtyard of a private house. Attract insects by producing carbon dioxide and warm. Pests are trapped and sucked into the device, after which they die during the day. The range of the device is from 4000 square meters, it is not used for indoors. But the likelihood that flies will fly into a home through a window or door is significantly reduced.

UV lamps

Preventive measures

Since flies can lay their eggs on food, there is a danger for humans to contract many diseases. Therefore, it is important to carry out prevention and follow some recommendations to protect the house from insects.

Traditional fly repellents

The traditional set of tools includes mosquito and gauze nets installed on doors and windows. They, of course, increase the impregnability of the dwelling for insects, but do not solve the problem entirely, since some of these annoying creatures still manage to get inside.

Sometimes in apartments or shops they use sticky tapes to catch flies.

But, frankly, such ribbons with adhering flies do not decorate the home at all, so it makes sense to look for other means.

Plants

Before going to the store for poisonous agents (by the way, flies quickly adapt to various pesticides), you can try using plants. The smells of some plant species are absolutely unbearable.

Flies really do not like the smell that black elderberry and fern emit. It is enough to collect a few branches of these plants and spread them in different places at home, and soon the pests will disappear. And you can also tie the branches with a thread and put them in vases, it will also be aesthetically pleasing.

An effective remedy against flies can be several pots of tomato bushes, the smell of the leaves of these plants is also extremely unloved by them. The best strategic position for placing your tomato "air defense" would be a balcony or window sill. By the way, the specific aroma of tomato leaves will turn away not only flies, but also other flying insects from your home.

Helps get rid of insects and common indoor geranium, which is kept in many homes. Its aroma has a disinfecting effect and repels insects. Myrtle and eucalyptus will be good helpers in expelling flies, putting pots of these plants on the windowsill will create an invisible but effective barrier.

You can also offer a rather exotic way to solve the question of how to get rid of house flies - use carnivorous plants, for which flies will serve as food. A couple of pots of sundew, oilwort or venus flytrap will quickly reduce the number of house flies.

Folk methods

People's ingenuity also developed several simple but effective means. It has been noticed that the smell of bay oil is very unpleasant for flies, which means that you can use it to get rid of flies in the apartment. To do this, rub the openings of doors and windows with laurel oil, and also wipe the furniture with it.

Do this procedure a couple of times a month, and the problem of flies in the house will be solved.

Another method is the use of poisonous feeders. Pour a little black pepper into sweet water, which is extremely poisonous for flies, and put this saucer with a "treat" in the place of concentration. After 2-3 days, the fly rows will thin out considerably.

Insect control in the house (video)

Surfaces that flies often sit on are recommended to be rubbed with wax or castor oil. The smell of these substances is detrimental to them. They also do not like the smell of kerosene and turpentine, but these aromas are not particularly pleasant for people, so they are not suitable for fighting in apartment conditions.

Flies in the country

If you have to fight flies in a garden or personal plot, then the first step is to process the waste dump, compost and cesspools. For these purposes, an aqueous emulsion of karbofos is used, which is obtained by diluting 10 g of the substance in 1 liter of water. Spray areas of concentration at least once a month during warmer months. An aqueous suspension of bleach (10 g / 1 l) and a soap-kerosene mixture also have an anti-fly effect. Waste around which flies swarm should be covered with soil to prevent further reproduction of insects in this place.
