Flies are bothered by the smell of mint, bay leaves, rosemary and lavender. THEY HATE PEPPERMINT OIL!
Here are some natural and toxic-free tips to keep them away from your home:
- Directions:
- 1. Mix 1 cup of water and 25 drops of peppermint essential oil and put in spray bottle. Spray around the house to repel them.
- 2. Place bay leaves and rosemary by doorways, window seals, kitchen counter tops, garbage and where ever you have flies.
- 3. Grow lavender and rosemary around your home. Planting them around your house will create a protective field.
- 4. Soapy peppermint oil spray:
- Mix 1 cup unscented baby shampoo and 25 drops of peppermint essential oil.
- Fill a spray bottle with the mixture and spray on areas and surfaces where you have a lot of flies such as kitchen, pantries and garbage.
- I recommend Mountain Rose Herbs as a reputable source for essential oils and the bay leaves.
