How to get rid of onion flies with affordable means

Flies can be driven away by odors that they cannot tolerate, mechanical traps can be arranged for them, or substances that have a destructive effect on them can be used.

– Place elderberry, tansy, or bay leaf twigs in your home to scare away. You can also pot geranium or eucalyptus. An aroma lamp with added eucalyptus or fir oil is no less effective.

– Quite a bit of turpentine or kerosene can be dissolved in water and the resulting solution can be used to wipe window frames and door frames.

– Mix 40 g sugar and black pepper in half a glass of milk. This mixture is impregnated with paper and laid out where you found flies.

– A mixture of 4 tablespoons of milk, 5 tablespoons of sugar water and ½ spoon of formalin acts perniciously on insects. Pour the mixture into a saucer and add a couple of slices of bread.

– You can put camphor on a preheated frying pan, the smell of which will spread throughout the apartment. For people, her pairs are absolutely harmless, and for winged insects, they are destructive.

– If you find onion fly larvae on plants and flowers grown in the house, then ash comes in handy. It must be stirred in water and poured over the plants with this solution. To increase the effectiveness of this remedy, you can add pounded tobacco leaves.

– You can also buy aerosols, fumigators and repellents in stores, which will either repel flies or contribute to their death.

Insects quickly develop immunity to poisons. Therefore, if after a certain period of time you find flies again, use another means of dealing with them.
