How Do I Get Rid Of Flies

For the best results use fruit scented dish soap since it will attract more flies.

Stock up on essential oils that flies don t like including lavender clove mint lemongrass and basil and use them to make your own fly repellent spray. Create a small hole in the plastic wrap so that fruit flies can smell the vinegar and crawl in. To use this method mix about an inch of apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap in a tall glass. Start by adding equal parts of water and liquid dish soap to a wide mouthed jar.

You can also add a splash of apple cider vinegar to make the bait solution more attractive to the flies. Then spray it in your kitchen and around your doorways to keep the flies out. Use a rubber band to hold the plastic wrap in place. Put some apple cider vinegar in a bottle or jar and cover the opening with plastic wrap.

You can create a variety of simple traps using wine or vinegar as a bait to lure in and kill adult fruit flies.
