So, you want to be a fly deterrent? Step one: take out the trash. Like, every day. Don’t let it marinate. Step two: clean your drains with baking soda and vinegar. It kills the slime layer that flies love.
Use tight lids on your bins. Flies are persistent but not strong. A sealed bin is like a fortress. Also, fix any leaky pipes. Moisture is their jam. Dry out your space, and they’ll look elsewhere.
And if you see a fly, don’t just swat it. Find where it’s been landing. That’s your clue. Check under the fridge, behind the toaster, or in the fruit bowl. You’re basically playing detective in a crime scene of decay.
