How to Get Rid of House Flies with Cloves Aug 15th 2012, 00:00 Have you ever sat at a picnic table on a nice Sunday afternoon, only to be bombarded by unwelcome flies? The following simple instructions will teach you how to get rid of houseflies using only the subtle scent of cloves, an odor detested by the common housefly. Edit Steps Take a sweet and ripe apple (any kind). Take 20 –30 cloves. Poke the cloves randomly into the apple. Place the newly clove-decorated apple on a plate and place it in the middle of the picnic table. Watch. You will be amazed to see how all of a sudden all the flies disappear in a short time. They simply hate the subtle smell of the cloves[1] and will never come again to "share your meal" as long as you have this ornamental clove apple on the table. Enjoy your food. Edit Tips Whole cloves can also be wrapped in small squares of cheesecloth and tied up, then hung wherever the flies are entering the house or hovering, such as in doorways or windows.[2][3] To release more of the scent, simply squeeze the package now and then. There is a fly in your house and you want it out! As the sun goes down, turn off all the lights in the house and turn on the bathroom light. The fly will go to the bathroom where you can swat him. Flies often hang upside down on a warm ceiling at night and in the early morning. Put some liquid soap in a cup and add water so that you have a little froth on top. Then walk under a fly and just raise the glass to it. When the fly senses the danger it will drop a couple of inches in order to get flying. At that point it is stuck in the soapy water. You can kill a bunch of the little nuisances with one glass. Buy whole cloves in the supermarket. They look like little sticks with a ball on the end. Push the stick part into the apple. Clove oil can be used when cleaning as another source of repelling houseflies indoors.[4] Edit Things You'll Need Cloves (available from the spice section in supermarkets, grocery stores, etc.) Apple Edit Related wikiHows How to Get Rid of Flies Around Your Dog's Water and Food Bowls How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies How to Get Rid of Ants How to Get Rid of Cockroaches How to Trap Cockroaches Edit Sources and Citations Article Tools Read on wikiHow Email this Article Edit Discuss Media files: 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Intro.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Step-1.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Step-2.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Step-3.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Step-4.jpg (image/jpeg) 200px-Get-Rid-of-House-Flies-with-Cloves-Step-5.jpg (image/jpeg)
