Tired of house flies invading your home? Swarms can be relentless, and chemical sprays often pose health risks to families and pets.
Luckily, I've relied on this time-tested natural remedy for years: a cooked onion stuffed with cloves. It's safe, effective, and chemical-free. Here's how it works.
1. Choose a medium to large onion.
2. Boil it in water for a few minutes.
3. Let it cool, then peel off the skin.
4. Stud it generously with whole cloves.
5. Place it in the room plagued by flies.
Place this natural repellent in every affected room, and watch the flies vanish. It's not glamorous, but its potency far outweighs any aesthetic drawbacks.
Far superior to toxic sprays or pricey electric zappers, this method protects your health, kids, and pets while costing next to nothing.
For amplified effectiveness, add a splash of white vinegar to the dish holding the onion. Some add drops of clove essential oil for an extra scent boost.
