Unwanted houseguests

Summer is almost over, just a little bit of house cleaning, and you can invite guests over for a Labor Day weekend get together. Unfortunately, the long spell of warm weather also means that there will be uninvited guests at your weekend bash… No, we are not referring to an obnoxious neighbor; we are talking about houseflies.

Make scents to get rid of flies

• Two things you never want around your outdoor cookout is flies (or insects in general) and poisonous chemicals.
• You can keep the flies away without wiping out a host of “friendly” insects or small animals.
• You can also forget about dealing with sticky, disgusting tapes or worrying about the toddlers playing with a fly swatter.
• Just like mosquitoes and ants, flies are repelled by certain scents. The icing on the cake is that these scents will have your home smelling wonderfully pleasant.

Lavender as a fly repellent

I cannot think of anyone I know that does not enjoy the scent of lavender. Yet, houseflies absolutely hate it. It is a little too early to plant lavender outside; putting a lavender bouquet on the picnic table, or a few strategically placed lavender oil diffusers can keep the flies away and keep your home smelling great.
