A Few Drops and Not a Single Fly Left in the House: After Two Months of Struggle, They Disappeared in 1 Minute

    Living in a private house has its pros and cons, but I never thought I’d face such a problem, especially in a cottage village!

    In the countryside, where livestock and pets create a constant stream of manure, expecting no flies is unrealistic. But in a cottage village!

    Lately, we’ve had a real invasion of flies. The warming and heat did their job — the buzzing army multiplied to incredible numbers.

    Moreover, many people in cottage villages have started keeping livestock. There’s a neighbor with turkeys, another with chickens, and across the diagonal — chickens, turkeys, geese, and even a few goats. Not to mention the equestrian school across the street, which adds horse manure to the mix.

    All this makes our workshop window an open invitation for flies. We closed the windows, hung mosquito nets and fabric scraps over the doors. We put up sticky tapes on the ceiling, which quickly filled with flies.

    We tried “Dichlorvos Terminator,” but it was ineffective. We also used the “Svernytay Gazeta” method, but the flies kept coming back.

    Then I remembered the clove oil concentrate we bought at the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. Unlike the diluted oils on the market, this was highly concentrated.

    I sprayed this mixture on the curtains, nets, and screens, and placed cotton balls with the oil around the windows. And after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes… the flies disappeared!
