Solving problems with flies in the house
Flies are a hassle day and night. On a cold night, a flying insect crawls into a dwelling hole to warm up and feast on food. It is advisable to know the measures for the elimination of Diptera so that they do not multiply.
Reasons for the appearance of flies in the house
Flies are also living things. When unfavorable conditions occur, you need to find a place to live. During severe frosts, insects try to find shelter in order to be able to survive bad weather. This is a hole or crevice in a private house. When flies need to migrate, they won't be bothered by food indoors. The main goal is to keep warm and survive the winter.
If a trash can is located nearby the apartment, then flying insects sharply sharpen their eyes on this. Flies usually accumulate near the tank, and their spread threatens to enter the house.
Note!
If the house is surrounded by four walls, this does not mean that the interior is a mess and there is no need to clean up after itself. Spoiled food that is not thrown into the bin tends to attract flies. It is recommended to regularly throw away the remains of spoiled food, so that later you do not buy funds from the attack of flies.
How to get rid of breeding flies in the house
If the situation is out of control, and there are already more flies than there is dust in the house, then you need to take emergency measures. You can't catch them on your own, and it will take a lot of time.
There are a couple of methods for extermination, which are divided into groups:

Exterminating flies at home is difficult and time-consuming. If it is a summer or spring season, then you need to remove the factors of occurrence. But if the question arises of how to get rid of flies in winter, then it is recommended to immediately begin to eliminate them.
The best chemicals
Many people trust advanced medicine more than grandma's old fly control methods. Therefore, chemical mixtures or other auxiliary artificial preparations are bred at home. To effectively eliminate the problem, some buy expensive solutions, while others, without leaving their homes, use natural products of a chemical composition.

Granules
The compressed poisonous grains will help kill flies in a week. After a stubborn struggle for several days, the effect after the granules will remain for at least 2 months. The pellets are effective in autumn, when the number of flies is very high.
This housing medicine helps in that after the combined substance hits the surface of the insect, the fly immediately reclines within 3-4 hours. To remove pests, use the following most effective granules:

After arrival, be sure to ventilate.

Powder
Flies usually nest in garbage cans, then move to the kitchen and other rooms. This causes great discomfort, because they almost fly into the mouth.
To take revenge on the vile inhabitants of the fauna, the most terrible death for them was invented - bred powder. After such a mixture, the fly will not land on a wooden table or other furniture.
After the insect tastes the bait, poisoning occurs. The mixture contains a dangerous concentrate of poison that paralyzes the nervous system of various midges.
The tool does not affect the human body in any way. In the process of creating a liquid according to the instructions, you can see that to remove dangerous dipterans, the solution can be applied to walls, garbage cans, window sills and even sofas.

However, the fumigator is most effective when used outdoors and will be ready for use when plugged in. Under the influence of electricity, the contents in the bag begin to heat up.
The device is lightweight and easy to use. Due to the absence of harmful substances in the impurity, it is environmentally friendly when released. It poses no threat to people and animals.
The most commonly used spray liquids:
- "Taiga";
- Raptor;

Folk remedies
Why spend money on various drugs when you can solve the main problem with the help of available tools? So thinks another part of people who do not want to spend money, but want to solve everything on their own on their own. No one likes it when insects breed in the corner of the room. Among the people, villagers often faced this task.
There are many ways you can kill flies:
- with vinegar;
- black pepper;
- kerosene;
- formalin with milk;
- indoor plants and more
In most cases, the key to killing is the smell that flies inhale and then die. In some cases, the harsh liquid is a strong deterrent. The insects will not die, but they will want to leave the house as soon as possible.
Vinegar
The product, which contains a large amount of acetic acid, is characterized by a very pungent odor, which quickly repels many parasites. Vinegar, like wine, has been used by humans since time immemorial, mainly for food purposes. Now fluids have found widespread use for use, including for flies.
The vinegar method does an excellent job of expelling insects for a long time from the owners' homes. This scheme drives out not only small flies, but even mosquitoes, moths and other annoying dipterans.
To use the effective method correctly, you need to take a small amount of vinegar. It is necessary to carefully distribute the liquid in places where flies live, for example, a table, a windowsill, a jamb or a door.
Black pepper
You should not use various drugs that can adversely affect the human body. The destruction of flies can be carried out using the crushed fruits of the shrub of the same name. Ground black pepper strongly irritates the inner lining of the stomach of small insects, due to which they die within 30 minutes.
For effective use, black hot seasoning can be mixed with a different consistency that will attract flies, such as sugar. Black pepper must be mixed with granulated sugar in equal proportions. After that, the finished powder must be scattered in places where insects fly. A suitable area would be a place near the glass, jamb, table and windowsill.
Kerosene
The fastest but less effective way to keep the flies out of the house. In suburban areas, people love to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits. When the process is practically not monitored, the fruits begin to rot, which is why flies fly. If some windows are open, then there is a high probability that 30 flies will definitely enter the room in an hour.
There is nothing at hand, but you need to expel annoying midges. Will come to the rescue. To use it correctly, you need to wash the floor with the addition of this substance. The pungent smell will help get rid of the flying creatures. For 1 full bucket of water, you can add 40-50 ml of hazardous liquid. The effect will last a maximum of 3 hours, but the flies fly away almost instantly.
Formalin with milk
An aqueous solution containing methanol will play a large role in adding milk. Glycerin can also be added instead of skim milk. It is necessary to create a liquid for exterminating flies using:
- 25 mg formalin;
- 25 mg of milk;
- 120 ml of water.
The output will be both a deterrent and a lethal agent that will drive dangerous insects from a residential area for a long time. For full effectiveness, you need to take deep saucers, pour in the admixture and put it in the place where flies often fly. Such a unique consistency will disable the nervous system of insects.
This method is especially suitable during the autumn period, when flies fly into the apartment to survive the winter. Also, if milk is sorely lacking, you can use glycerin in the same proportion. However, children and pets should be kept away so as not to ruin the stomach.
Houseplants
Flies, like all living things on earth, are capable of being afraid of something. Insects are afraid not so much of poison as of various plants blooming at any time of the year. There is a small list of “green guards” that will prevent flies from breeding indoors:
- medicinal tansy;
- mint;
- elder;
- basil;
- lavender;
- tomato leaves.
The list is quite long, but tansy is the best one to do the job. Its smell is much more powerful than that of ordinary grass, so it repels flies for a long distance. You can buy a couple of bushes and plant them under the kitchen window from the outside.
Oddly enough, but a tomato, which is always in the refrigerator, is also capable of repelling insects. It is recommended to put 10 tomato leaves around the room, and for the full effect, you can arrange the pots on the windowsill. Flies will not fly in and will not eat anything. This is ideal for a summer residence.
Homemade fly traps in the house
If you cannot go for poison due to lack of money or when you do not have the necessary homemade ingredients, you can build your own homemade traps. Making a fly repellent at home is not difficult if you have half an hour of free time.
There are, like complex traps that require high costs, and there are lighter options that are no less effective. A few simple items to destroy all flies in a matter of days:
- cut bottle;
- dampened cloth.
Cropped bottle
