The summer months are eagerly awaited by many people who can’t wait to go back to enjoy some relaxation on the beach or to walk some mountain trails or maybe treat themselves to a nice meal outdoors in some characteristic place. However, as homeowners know well, the heat of summer and consequently the need to keep the windows open to let some air circulate also brings with it some not insignificant annoyances. First of all, the apartment fills up again with various insects, such as mosquitoes that annoy not only humans, but also animals and plants.

With a bag full of water the flies will be just a memory

In addition to mosquitoes, it is not uncommon in the summer to come across spiders , geckos and ants in the rooms of your home , up to flies . Flies are probably the insects that cause the most problems, given their annoying buzzing.Flies – Imilanesi.Nanopress.it

The good news is that there are ways to get rid of flies or at least significantly reduce their presence in your home. Many choose to rely on various chemical products that are easily found even in common supermarkets.

However, the advice is not to opt for these solutions and instead choose alternative remedies , which have much less impact from an environmental point of view.

For example, many people don’t know that a simple sheet of aluminum foil can be enough to keep flies away from your home.

What exactly do we need to do? First, take a sheet of aluminum foil, divide it in half, and then divide the two halves further until we get squares. We roll up these squares to make little balls.

How many balls do you need to make? Usually four or five balls are enough to create this foolproof method that will keep insects away from your home.

The next step is to take a transparent bag and pour water into it (tap water is fine). You don’t need to fill the entire bag, just the bottom.

What should we do now? Inside the transparent bag where we poured the water, we also put the balls that we previously made by rolling up the aluminum foil.

Aluminum balls to keep flies away: here’s why

Why should putting aluminum pellets inside the bag with water allow us to avoid the invasion of flies in our home? The reason is easily explained.Water Bags – Imilanesi.Nanopress.it

The reflection of the water on the film, in fact, acts as a deterrent for flies , which will be very annoyed by this and will stay well away from our home.

After putting the aluminum balls in the water, we close the bag, making a simple knot. The last step remains, that is, hanging the bag in the house to keep flies away.

This last ‘step’ can be done with a rubber band or a thread, so you can easily hang the bag. We can place it on the front door , or near the windowsill or anywhere in the house where flies could enter more easily.
