These powerful repellents keep flies away from the garbage can

Once the garbage bag is changed, several methods exist to repel flies and other unwanted insects in the future. @Clean_by_Marouane explains that citrus peels, such as orange, lemon, or grapefruit peels, act as repellents for insects that dislike their scent, as does the scent of cloves , which can be stuck into the peels for even better results. This repellent can also be used in fruit bowls to keep fruit flies away from overripe fruit.

Finally, Marouane Lebbad reveals another useful tip to prevent flies from invading your garbage: niaouli essential oil . Easily found in organic stores and other specialized retailers, this essential oil acts as a true repellent against pests, whether in the kitchen or any other room in the house. To use it, simply pour 10 drops of niaouli essential oil, 10 ml of rubbing alcohol, and 100 ml of water into a spray bottle . After changing the garbage bag, clean the bin with this solution using a sponge or paper towel. Wait a few minutes for it to dry, then add the garbage bag. This tip can also be combined with citrus peels at the bottom of the bag for optimal results.
