How to Get Rid of Flies in Your House

Are you tired of those annoying flies buzzing around your home? Don’t worry! Here are some easy and fun ways to make sure they stay away for good.

Keep Your House Clean

Flies love to hang out where there’s food. So, make sure to keep your house clean. Here are some tips:

  • Always cover your food. Flies are attracted to uncovered food, so put lids on your dishes or store food in the fridge.
  • Take out the garbage regularly. Flies love trash, so make sure your garbage can is closed tightly and emptied often.
  • Clean up after your pets. Pet waste can attract flies, so keep your yard and litter boxes clean.

Seal Up Your Home

Flies can sneak into your house through tiny openings. Here’s how to keep them out:

  • Check your doors and windows for any cracks or gaps. Use weather stripping or caulk to seal them up.
  • Make sure your window screens are in good shape. Repair any holes or tears so flies can’t get in.

Use Traps and Natural Repellents

If flies are already inside, you can catch or scare them away using these methods:

  • Set up fly traps. You can buy them at the store or make your own using a jar and some apple cider vinegar.
  • Use a fly swatter to catch flies. It’s a quick way to get rid of them.
  • Try natural repellents. Flies don’t like the smell of vinegar or essential oils like lavender or peppermint. You can mix these with water and spray them around your home.
Fun Fact

Did you know that flies have taste buds on their feet? That’s why they land on food to taste it! By keeping your house clean and using these tips, you can make sure they don’t stick around.

Now you’re ready to say goodbye to flies and enjoy a fly-free home!

  1. Fly Observation Journal: Spend a week observing where you see flies the most in your home or garden. Each day, write down or draw where you saw them and what might have attracted them there. At the end of the week, discuss with your family what changes you could make to reduce the number of flies.

  2. Create Your Own Fly Trap: With the help of an adult, make a simple fly trap using a jar, apple cider vinegar, and plastic wrap. Poke small holes in the plastic wrap and place it over the jar. Observe how many flies you catch over a few days. Discuss why you think the trap works and how you might improve it.

  3. Seal the Gaps Challenge: Go on a “fly hunt” around your home to find any cracks or gaps where flies might enter. Use a checklist to mark the spots you find. With an adult, try sealing one of these gaps using weather stripping or caulk. Talk about how this might help keep flies out and why it’s important to check these areas regularly.
