An ancient trick that eliminates flies and cockroaches from the house.
Pour 2 to 3 cm of balsamic cider or vinegar into the bowl. Then add a few drops of liquid dishwashing detergent and shake to dissolve. By placing the bowl in the infested area in the evening, you will find many insects that die the next day. It seems that the darkness and freshness of the night attracts them more.
Flies and other insects are attracted to vinegar because of the smell of fruit rot. As they approach each other to feed themselves, they will drown thanks to the detergent.
Trap with fruit:
Place an old piece of skinless fruit in the bowl. Cover it hermetically with a plastic film. Make many small holes in the plastic with a toothpick. Fruit flies will enter the trap without being able to get out of it.

3 – A lavender essential oil repellent

4- A natural repellent with lemon and cloves
This grandmother’s trick consists in cutting a lemon (preferably green), in two and then stinging about fifteen cloves on each of the faces.
