You need to deal with fruit flies in the kitchen carefully, otherwise you will soon have to repaint the ceiling.
Particularly zealous owners destroy the pest on the spot with a wet towel or fly swatter. But there is a less insidious and labor-intensive method that will not leave a chance for insects.
The flight of small black flies is especially annoying for neat housewives who are prone to perfectionism.
We hasten to disappoint those who think that flies appear only in the summer, along with garden vegetables. Nothing prevents them from populating your kitchen in the fall, winter and spring.
Here's how to deal with unwanted guests without chemicals.
Folk tricks
Experienced housewives have noticed that fruit flies cannot stand the aroma of herbs.
They have especially difficult relationships with lavender, mint, cloves and bay leaves.
There is another effective option. For this you will need an aroma lamp. Add a couple of drops of essential oil and the insects will go in search of another home.
