Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of Citronella Oil (Nature’s bug repellent)
- 2 Tablespoons of Essential Oils (Lemon, eucalyptus, or lavender)
- 1 Cup of Water
- A Few Drops of Dish Soap (To help the oil mix with water)
- A Spray Bottle
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, combine the citronella oil and essential oils. Add the dish soap to the mixture. This will help the oils mix more effectively with the water.
- Mix with Water: Pour the oil mixture into the spray bottle. Then fill the rest of the bottle with water, leaving a little room at the top.
- Shake Well: Close the spray bottle and shake it well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Spray Around Your House: Liberally spray the mixture around the exterior of your house, focusing on entry points like doors and windows. This will create a barrier that flies are not keen on crossing.
- Reapply as Needed: Reapply the spray every few days or after heavy rain to maintain the effectiveness of your fly deterrent.
- Observe the Results: Flies should be discouraged from lingering around your house and will prefer to “run” off to find less aromatic territories—potentially even up to 2 kilometers away!
Enjoy a fly-free environment and a more pleasant home!
